The Levitt Group annual lecture

March 16, 2017

6:00 PM - London

The 12 Powers of a Marketing Leader - For this groundbreaking book, London Business School Marketing Professor Patrick Barwise teamed up with former McKinsey partner and senior marketer Thomas Barta to answer the question: What makes an effective and successful marketing leader?
They conducted the largest ever global study of marketing leadership, analysing detailed original data on over 1,200 marketing leaders and more than 67,000 existing 360-degree assessments of both marketing and non-marketing business leaders. The research revealed 12 essential traits that can make or break marketers’ business impact and career success.
Patrick will explain how you:

• Mobilise your boss: Make an impact at the highest level and align marketing with the company’s priorities

• Mobilise your colleagues: Inspire and support your non-marketing colleagues to meet customers’ needs better than the competition

• Mobilise your team: Build and hone a winning marketing team. Become a leader of leaders

• Mobilise yourself: Focus on goals that will benefit your customers, company, and long-term career

Patrick will give you first hand accounts of marketing successes from around the world - and you will gain surprising psychological insights into the leaders who drove the key decisions. You will learn how to persuade your colleagues, motivate your team, and strengthen your leadership skills.

Warning: This is not a marketing book. It’s a leadership book for marketers, using the latest research on what works and what does not work, in the digital age of marketing. By zeroing in on the value creation zone. The all-important overlap between your company’s and customers’ needs - you will be able to help your business to win in the market and achieve your career goals.

Remember: Doing marketing is not the same as leading marketing. With the knowledge of The 12 Powers of a Marketing Leader, you can lead the way with a new vision that is powerful, transformative, and ultimately life-changing.

The ticket price includes, refreshments, drinks and a complementary copy of the book.
