Think Like a CMO with Sarah Gemmell
You’ve done the trainings, joined the masterminds, and taken all the coaching advice… but your marketing still feels like a bunch of disconnected tasks that only sometimes work.
Welcome to Think Like a CMO, the podcast that helps small business owners stop doing random acts of marketing and start thinking like the Chief Marketing Officer their business actually needs.
Hosted by marketing strategist and consultant Sarah Gemmell, this show is all about stepping into your role as the CMO, so you can see your marketing from a higher level, connect the dots across your channels, and build a cleaner, more profitable marketing ecosystem.
You’ll learn how to tighten your strategy, clarify your messaging, map smarter funnels, and show up with more confidence without turning marketing into a full-time job. Because you are the CMO for your business right now and it’s time to start leading like one.
