Newsletter: current client priorities
Since our spring newsletter, we have been supporting clients with some fantastic interim roles, as organisations revisit strategies and structures to embrace the incredible rate of change in marketing technologies. Here is an overview of current client priorities, our knowledge share, and what’s new at Suzie Walker Executive Search…
Client priorities
Some popular roles we have recently supported clients with include Interim Head of Marketing - Retail; Head of Brand Strategy - Financial Services; Interim Director of Brand & Marketing - Consumer Services; Head of Performance Marketing - Consumer Services; Interim Brand & Marketing Director - B2B2C; Interim Marketing Director – Consumer Goods and Head of Digital Growth - Leisure/Travel. As we've mentioned before, senior interim roles provide much-needed strategic and operational support during challenging times, and also the flexibility to adapt marketing and digital teams as things change.
Diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) also remains a huge priority for clients, and we are proud to support you with our guide on, 'How to avoid unconscious bias when hiring'. As a Women Owned business, we could not be prouder to support positive change. If you have any questions about our hiring process and how it can support DEI within your organisation, please do get in touch.
Knowledge share
In the last few months, we were delighted to meet with the following talented senior leaders as part of our Q&A interview series: Graham Baughan, Chief Marketing Officer; Oliver Bedford, Director of Ecommerce, London Gatwick; Karen Bellairs, Chief Customer and Commercial Officer, Halfords; Rajesh Gupta, Chief Customer Officer; Gary Kibble, Chief Digital & Marketing Officer, Wickes; Phil Lloyd, CMO, Purplebricks and Sherilyn Shackell, Founder & CEO, The Marketing Academy.
It was also a pleasure to contribute our executive search expertise to both the April and June issues of theHRDIRECTOR magazine - an independent, thought-led publication for senior HR practitioners.
