About Club CMO
Club CMO is a member organization that brings together Chief Marketing Officers (CMOs) and other senior marketing executives for networking, knowledge-sharing and professional development. Through a peer-led, no-selling environment the Club provides exclusive access for marketing leaders to connect, exchange ideas, and stay updated on industry trends and common challenges.
Members are able to connect in-person at local dinners, informal get-togethers and VIP experiences; at industry Clubhouses and engaging annual Summits, and virtually through a private online platform where CMOs can discuss challenges and best practices in the field of marketing.
Founded by Pete Krainik in 2015 as The CMO Club with the goal of creating an authentic, no-sales environment for marketing executives to come together and discuss ideas and share solutions. The community has since become a global organization with members across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.
Brand Innovators
In June of 2023 the organization was rebranded as Club CMO, and joined forces with Brand Innovators thus allowing the two communities to build upon their synergies to serve the marketing professionals with engaging learning, networking, and in-person experiences.
Today, Club CMO continues its commitment to its core values as a community offering a space for executive marketing leaders to connect with supportive like-minded peers to refocus, re-energize and transform the world of marketing – one genuine connection at a time.
