Programme Overview

In the past few years, the rapid pace of technology development, disruption, and adaptation has altered what and how a business sells its products and services, turned the tables on customer dynamics, and introduced new channels to reach, engage, convince, and convert the ever-informed digital consumer. To stay ahead of the competition, CMOs must deliver above-market growth.

To address this need, IIM Lucknow has developed the Chief Marketing Officer Programme (CMO). This programme is tailored for senior marketing leaders, new and aspiring CMOs, to equip them with the skills for delivering transformational and sustainable marketing excellence. The programme’s cutting-edge curriculum delves into key aspects of marketing such as marketing automation, AI transformation, data centricity, customer experience, digital transformation, and crisis management, along with real-world case studies, marketing stimulation from Markstrat by StratX and capstone project.

This 12-month programme includes live online sessions from leading IIM faculty, sessions from industry leaders, two campus immersions, and certification from IIM Lucknow. This programme will enable aspiring CMOs to develop their proficiency in real-time, data-driven decision-making not just related to marketing, but the overall corporate strategy
