When marketing met finance: how to speak CFO
In this episode I speak to Andrea Linehan, Fractional CMO, Advisory Board member for the CMO Council, and previously CMO for CurrencyFair.
Andrea and I have a fantastic discussion about the challenges marketing leaders often face with building a
relationship and communicating with the CFO… or communicating ROI from marketing in general!
We chat about:
- When you're in those budget meetings and the CFO is all about numbers, how can we manage the pressure to
justify marketing spend, especially when a lot of what we do is more long-term or harder to measure?
- Do you ever get the sense that CFOs see marketing as just a big cost centre? How can we flip that narrative and
help them understand the long-term value of brand building and customer engagement?
- The best go-to strategy for proving ROI in areas like content creation or brand awareness, where results are more
intangible, and how we can show it's worth the investment.
