Why this guide exists

Most Boards ask:

"Who should we hire?"

This guide explains why that's the wrong first question.

Instead, it introduces a practical framework for identifying the marketing leadership mandate your organisation actually needs.

Inside the Guide.

✓ The 12 CMO Archetypes

✓ The Board Diagnostic

✓ The £1M hiring mistake

✓ The Mandate Matrix

✓ Interview questions

✓ The Board scorecard

Existing CMO frameworks classify people. This framework

classifies mandates. That's the difference.
