Diary of a first-time CMO 

Hey B2B marketers 👋

Here it is. My diary of a first-time CMO! 5+ years in seat, on our way to breaking the 100M mark and expanding into new regions. I’ve learned a lot in my time at Cognism! 

And I’m sharing it all with you. My diaries cover the key learnings I've gathered from the past half decade leading marketing. It’s my handbook for B2B marketers looking to thrive in leadership (especially if you’re as daunted as I was when I started out!).

Buy the books

I asked on my LinkedIn to find out what formats to put this diary into. And the answers were very mixed.

So we have created both volume 1 and volume 2 of my diary of a first-time CMO in an audio format, digital format - and if you’re like me and prefer to read a physical book, we have that too!
