The biggest trend in marketing now is, of course, AI. Another trend worth following is the evolution of influencers marketing. Influencer marketing is transitioning from huge numbers and large followers to more micro-influencing, peer-to-peer connections, with a smaller follower base, with a focus on more authentic stories.

I endorse this CMOtalk community because I love the conversations this community facilitates. I enjoy connecting with other CMO’s who often encounter the exact same problems and opportunities. Having a good conversation with someone outside your company and discussing how you are dealing with challenges often bring new insights. CMOtalk facilitates a strong network within the community.

Among professional networks, CMOtalk stands out as my preferred choice. Each gathering feels like an informal yet enriching meetup with close friends. The events are both casual and enjoyable, providing valuable inspiration through engaging content and the presence of top colleagues in the marketing field. Listening to the podcast during my commute and participating in network events always gives me an energizing boost.

Johan is Senior Vice President of Marketing & Communication at Albert Heijn. In 2022, he was honoured as the Sponsor Personality of the Year, and in 2023, he was named CMO of the Year.
