The Rise of The Chief Marketing Technologist [INFOGRAPHIC]

What makes a business thrive? What makes the gear in people’s heads go round and round? Who devises strategies behind the scenes, implements them and it works without a hitch? The answer: The Chief Marketing Technologist Officer (CMTO).

What is a “Chief Marketing Technologist Officer“? A CMTO is a person who is a hybrid between a marketing, IT and strategist personnel all bundled into one. This title is growing in popularity amongst Fortune 500 companies around the world. In fact, according to chiefmartec.com, 81% of companies now have a solidified CMTO role. Comparatively, this is a huge improvement than last year where there was only 71% of CMTOs available. It is predicted in 2014, there will be another 8% adding to this particular role in the next 24 months!
