CEO-Poof Your Marketing Strategy

Devin Bramhall

Chief Growth Officer & Author

Don't let your strategy die in a slide deck.

CEOs make decisions based on revenue, margin, risk, runway, priorities, and trade offs.

You build marketing strategy around human people (your customers) and human people are nuanced, erratic and non-linear.

You’re never going to convince the CEO your marketing strategy is good, so stop trying.

Your CEO is juggling board pressure, financial targets, political landmines, and constantly shifting priorities. They don't have time to translate your 19-page marketing strategy into business impact they care about.

Right now, you and your CEO are speaking different languages. That’s why you’re marketing strategy isn’t landing.

Once you understand how executives think, your pitch lands instantly.

In this 4-week course, you'll learn to diagnose your CEO's real priorities, reframe your strategy in their language, and walk away with a framework you can use to get any strategy approved.

Your strategy isn't broken. Your alignment is. Let's fix it.
