The only global leadership body to drive the marketing agenda.
The Global CMO Growth Council was established in 2018 as a way for the global community of chief marketers to come together in unified leadership to transform marketing into a force for growth and a force for good.
Driven by the ANA Growth Agenda and led by Procter & Gamble chief brand officer Marc Pritchard, the Global CMO Growth Council is committed to helping CMOs look much further ahead to envision what their brands, business, and society will need to grow in the coming months and years ahead.

The Growth Council Working Teams
Organized around six priority areas, Working Teams share a common commitment to transforming marketing.
B2B4H
Business to Business for Humans
B2B marketing is changing, with businesses innovating and experimenting with brand creativity, media strategies, and relationship-building. Establishing the frameworks and introducing new paradigms for brand growth that reach beyond the short term in B2B-driven organizations is the primary focus of this Working Team.
Brand, Creativity, and Media
Drive business growth by growing marketing's impact.
Strong brand building and strategic creativity are vital for sustained industry growth. The team has worked to educate business stakeholders on marketing's value, collaborated on initiatives to clarify marketing's role, and aligned marketing strategies with business goals.
Data, Technology, and Measurement
Harnessing the True Power of Data and Technology
To create value for all stakeholders throughout the entire brand experience at scale, CMOs need to leverage data and technology at full potential. The challenge of mastering the substantial complexities and accelerated pace of transformation within the data and technology ecosystem is the focus of this Working Team.
Small to Mid-Sized Companies (SMC)
Overcoming the Unique Challenges of SMCs
The mission of this group is to identify the unique challenges and opportunities driving global business growth and societal good by focusing on the needs and strengths of small to mid-sized companies.
Inclusive and Sustainable Marketing
Force for Good. Force for Growth.
We need to our collective advertising and media reach and voice to eliminate bias, promote equality and inclusion, abolish hateful content, and build a more sustainable world. Eliminating stereotypes in gender, race, orientation, ability, and cultural bias, and influencing a sustainable marketing ecosystem is the goal of this Working Team.
Talent and Marketing Organization
Fostering Modern Marketing's Talent
Cultivating the extraordinary potential that lies largely untapped in our industry requires CMOs to achieve true diversity and inclusion throughout the entire talent pool. Developing new talent and organizational workflows that enable peak performance as well as attracting a new generation of marketers is the mission of this Working Team.
