In 2026, marketing leadership is one of the toughest roles in business.
The pressure to deliver is on like never before. Leading the marketing team is a tough gig – but it can also be incredibly rewarding. Watching your business and brand grow is the best feeling you can get as a marketer.
But most CMO’s, marketing directors and heads need a helping hand from time to time. Especially if you’re new to leadership.
The leap into leadership
I remember it well. My first head of marketing role was the biggest leap I made in my career, before or since.
Suddenly, you go from someone who executes to someone who has all the responsibility – for the brand, the budget, for growth, for agencies and your team.
You’re expected to speak the language of the CFO, deal with sales, product and tech teams. Reporting is new. And your communication style has to change.
That’s why I developed the Leap into Leadership programme – to help marketers making taking their first head of / director / CMO role or those who just need a reset.
