Every week, I talk to CMOs drowning in dashboards.
CTR, CAC, ROAS, MQLs — all neatly color-coded and updated hourly.
And yet, when I ask one simple question — “How do people feel about your brand?” — the room goes silent.
Because somewhere along the way, we replaced brand growth with spreadsheet growth.
The best CMOs today aren’t chasing cheaper clicks — they’re building cultural gravity.
They understand that numbers can’t capture momentum, word of mouth, or the emotion that makes someone choose you over a competitor.
Here’s the hard truth:
If your growth strategy relies entirely on performance metrics, you’re optimizing for efficiency, not longevity.
We’ve hit a breaking point in marketing — where creative risk is undervalued, and short-term KPIs are killing long-term brand equity.
Great brands grow because they do things that don’t fit inside a dashboard:
They say something bold when everyone else plays it safe.
They invest in ideas that spark conversation, not just conversion.
They treat their audience like fans, not targets.
The question isn’t “How do we grow faster?” anymore.
It’s “How do we grow louder, longer, and more meaningfully?”
The CMOs leading the next decade won’t just measure results — they’ll design relevance.
