Notion Capital — The Pain of ScaleMay 26, 202136 min

Ingrid Burton, CMO of Quantcast, challenges conventional wisdom about enterprise decision-making and the evolution of IT leadership in this deep dive into open-source marketing strategies.

  • •Marketing teams must build relationships with IT departments early, as they serve as critical gatekeepers protecting enterprises from security risks.
  • •The prediction that CIOs would become obsolete has proven completely wrong—their role has actually expanded in the modern threat landscape.
