Did #Lululemon just tell customers they’re overpaying?. Their lawsuit against #Costco’s $28 leggings could backfire – validating the dupe as “just as good.”. #PricingStrategy #BrandEquity #CMOInsights #ChiefMarketingExec #eCommerceDigitalCMO #CMO.

Imagine your brand is so iconic that even your competitors’ knockoffs are flattering. Now imagine you sue them – and inadvertently tell your customers they’ve been overpaying all along.

Saw “#TheMaterialist” today. 🎬. Chasing what others call success can cost you real #happiness. Lesson: If it’s not true to your purpose, no approval will ever feel like success. #LifeLessons #Mindset #Authenticity #ChiefMarketingExec #eCommerceDigitalCMO

Launching in a crowded market? Timing. Targeting. Tactics. That’s how you win—without being the loudest or the cheapest. Learn how brands can own saturated spaces. #ProductLaunch #CMO #BrandDifferentiation #ChiefMarketingExec #eCommerceDigitalCMO.

Let’s get one thing straight: saturated markets aren’t roadblocks—they’re arenas. The fact that a category is crowded means there's already demand.

Speed > Perfection. In GTM strategy, "done" beats "perfect." If you’re still fine-tuning your slides, your competitor is already in front of your customer. New blog👉 #GoToMarket #Marketing #CMO #ChiefMarketingExec #eCommerceDigitalCMO @CompetitiveMktg.

Let’s be honest—perfection is a luxury most brands can’t afford anymore. In today’s hypercompetitive markets, speed is the new differentiator.

#Marketing innovation isn’t a buzzword. It’s your competitive moat. But only if you systematize it. 📈 Turn big ideas into repeatable revenue engines →. #ChiefMarketingExec #eCommerceDigitalCMO @CompetitiveMktg #CMO #InterimCMO #FractionalCMO.

Let’s be honest—if your marketing team is still waiting for “big ideas” to show up during brainstorms, you’re already behind. Innovation isn’t spontaneous combustion.

🚨 The #CMO Role Is Being Rewritten. The #ChiefMarketingOfficer of yesterday ran campaigns. The #ChiefGrowthOfficer of today architects scalable, revenue-driving growth across the org. ➡️ Blog: #Marketing #ChiefMarketingExec #eCommerceDigitalCMO.

The Chief Marketing Officer title isn’t going away—but its traditional playbook is. CMOs are being asked to do more than build brand awareness or execute campaigns.

You trained your customers to wait for the sale. 🧠 But what if you want to raise prices and be premium again? Can you do it without killing revenue? . 📷 The answer is YES. . #Marketing #CMO #ChiefMarketingExec #eCommerceDigitalCMO @CompetitiveMktg.

Let’s be brutally honest: If you run sales every day, every week, every holiday, and every “last chance” Friday—you've trained your customers to wait you out. They know the next markdown is coming.
