The Successful Candidate webinar - transforming how senior marketing leaders navigate career transitions
We were delighted to host The Successful Candidate webinar, a focused and practical session designed to help senior marketing leaders rethink how they approach career transitions in an increasingly competitive market.
Led by our MD & Founder, Suzie Walker, the session drew on thousands of real hiring decisions to demystify what truly differentiates candidates who consistently secure exceptional roles from those who find themselves stuck. Rather than relying on traditional job-hunting tactics, the webinar introduced a clear, proven roadmap for positioning yourself as the obvious choice.
Across the 40-minute presentation, followed by a highly engaged Q&A, Suzie unpacked the key levers that shape successful outcomes. Topics included how to uncover opportunities that never reach the open market, build professional magnetism that attracts the right conversations, and approach interviews and negotiations with confidence and clarity. Attendees also explored how to accelerate impact once in role, ensuring momentum from day one.
What resonated most strongly was the practical nature of the session. Participants left with tangible frameworks, tools and next steps they could immediately apply, shifting their mindset from reactive job searching to strategic opportunity positioning. The discussion reinforced that career progression at senior level is rarely about volume or visibility alone, but about clarity, credibility and timing.
The lively Q&A highlighted just how relevant these challenges are for today’s senior marketing leaders, and we’re grateful to everyone who contributed their questions and reflections. The webinar offered not just insight, but a renewed sense of confidence and direction for those navigating their next career move.
Thank you to everyone who attended and for this wonderful feedback:
"Big thanks for the session this morning and this quick start guide. I must let you know that this is the information and advice I WISH I HAD when I was made redundant last year... It's the clearest articulation I've seen of how the hiring market at senior marketing level operates now AND provides clear steps to navigate it. 'Build your magnetic field' - such an apt phrase and a real aha moment for me! I can't wait to read your book."
