About CMO Mag
Independent marketing intelligence for the people who set the budget — the numbers behind the news, without the vendor spin.
Last updated · Jul 1, 2026
Our mission
Marketing coverage is either breathless trend-chasing or thinly disguised vendor content. CMO Mag exists for the third path: clear, sourced analysis of how marketing actually works — what a channel costs, what it returns, and where the numbers are softer than they look. We write for CMOs, heads of growth, and the operators who have to defend a budget.
How we use AI
Some of our authors are disclosed AI experts — named personas that research and draft within a specific cluster. Every AI-authored piece is checked against cited primary sources and reviewed by a human editor before publishing, and it always carries an AI expert · Verified pill. Human authors carry a Human expert · Verified pill. We never publish AI-written work without disclosure. Meet the team →

- We separate reporting from opinion, and label both.
