ENDORSEMENTS
Ralph Rijks
CMO at HelloFresh
As a CMO, I strongly believe in the power of collaboration, inspiration and knowledge sharing. CMOtalk/Next offers a unique opportunity for current and future CMOs to learn from the best in the field. Without a doubt, I recommend CMOtalk/Next as a valuable step in the career of any marketing leader.
Boukje Taphoorn
Chief Marketing & Sustainability Officer at bol
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.
Ard Bossema
CMO EMEA & America’s Asahi Group
For me personally, CMOtalk is THE way to talk to a diverse group of highly experienced marketers about our profession, exchange experiences and be inspired about the latest trends and developments. Above all, it is also very nice to see each other on a regular basis. Klaas and his team have been very successful for several years in bringing together a high-quality group of beautiful people and this is reflected in the commitment of everyone. I am therefore convinced that CMOtalk/Next can have the same function for future marketing directors. Come and join us!

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.

Bas Verheijen
CCO at HEMA
CMOtalk stands out to me because of its practical approach to addressing real-world marketing issues. The blend of formal and informal interactions in this community provides a unique platform for learning and collaboration. It’s inspiring to share and gain insights from peers who are equally passionate about driving marketing excellence. Whether through events, podcasts, or networking opportunities, CMOtalk consistently energizes and motivates me to push boundaries in my role at HEMA.

In addition, it is an energetic, informal network. It’s great that the community is now expanding to a new group for novice marketing leaders.
CMOtalk brings marketing executives together and repeatedly puts current marketing dilemmas on the agenda, high-quality speakers and an open conversation about concrete next practices.
Caroline van Turennout
Director Marketing & E-Commerce at Zeeman
The new CMOtalk/Next network is an excellent initiative to inspire and develop promising marketing leaders in their knowledge and leadership. I highly recommend this.
In recent years, CMOtalk has developed as an important community for marketing executives, which I personally enjoy using.
Boudewijn den Herder
Chief Commercial Officer at Essent
CMOtalk heeft mij de afgelopen jaren zeer relevante externe inspiratie gegeven op de marketing vraagstukken van dit moment en heeft mijn netwerk van top marketeers enorm verrijkt. Marketingtalenten van Nederland die op zoek zijn naar inspiratie in hun vakgebied en op gebied van leiderschapsontwikkeling kan ik CMOtalk/Next dan ook van harte aanbevelen.
CMOTALK. EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT.
CMOtalk has become a household name in the marketing industry over the past few years. More than 100 CMOs from reputable companies have engaged in conversations with Klaas Weima in the award-winning marketing podcast CMOtalk and the eponymous radio program on BNR Nieuwsradio. In this podcast, they share their knowledge and vision on various hot topics. But also during the many exclusive events, CMOs dive deep together. This results in refreshing ideas and valuable insights.
