What's inside the Guide to a New Role | VP of Marketing?

The VP of Marketing is responsible for overseeing the marketing strategy and marketing goals for the company. They deal with positioning and overall communication in the market with a central focus on the customer. VPMs work closely with the Sales and Business Development teams to oversee all research efforts.

They have a multitude of responsibilities, but their focus is mainly on the following:

  • Market Positioning - Maximize Market Share

  • Integrated Marketing and Communications (IMC) - Unified Approach

  • Overall P&L (Profit and Loss) - Maximum Revenue
