Synopsis and overview of the session

Persuading your CMO to give you more money is not an easy task. Especially in ASEAN, where the ROI we bring is often, if not always, compared to other regions with much higher density and less go-to-market complexity.

Over this lunch we will discuss the top 5 tactics that successful Heads of Marketing use to help them in the journey to convince their CMO to grant them with more than their “fair share” of the budget.

Focus Network invites you to join an elite group of B2B Marketing leaders from within the technology space in Singapore to network, share ideas and openly discuss:

  • Finding the right timing for the “budget talk”
  • Ways to ensure you’re ready to present your case forward
  • Ways of building your personal village to support you
  • Don’t die on the beach – road-blocking mistakes most people make
  • So you got the budget. What’s next?
