13:20 Interactive Panel - The Marketing Procurement Department Of The Future: Do We Need The Word ‘Procurement’?
- In companies where marketing is truly seen as an investment rather than a cost, should marketing procurement no longer be part of the supply chain and instead be part of a more commercial part of the business and report into the CMO?
- Can we ever truly move on from the endless competing demands from marketing and procurement?
- Changing the metrics to change the conversation: how to focus on getting full value out of marketing investments to grow your brand - will we ever move on from the perception of a cost saving function to one that offers commercial value?
- What will the profile of the marketing procurement leader of the future look like - will marketing or procurement expertise be more important?
- Can we make marketing procurement a more attractive function to work in comparison to marketing?
