We succeed when our students do. We're proud to share some kind words they've said about us.

Stacey created the blueprint for leading marketing for an organization. Her expertise and facilitation during this program was invaluable! I appreciated learning in a small cohort setting to exchange ideas and troubleshoot in real-time. Understanding my knowledge gaps and where I'm already strong gave me the direction I needed.

Lauren Kendall
Director of Marketing

There were topics in the course that I have used before that I had forgotten and areas where I could definitely improve. Working through the curriculum and discussing them other marketing and sales professionals allowed me to gain keen insight while building relationships with other professionals who "get it".

Schell Gower, Fractional CMO, testimonial <br/>If you are a marketing professional who wants to move out of "marketing busy work" and instead contribute to your organization at the C-suite, then joining the next Ascend B2B Marketing Leadership mastermind will give you the training and mentorship you need while connecting you with Marketing and Sales professionals who will elevate your career.
Schell Gower
Fractional CMO

I loved the structure and exercises that this course gave to help build on what we've been missing. Having a collaborative leader to guide us took a lot of guesswork out of it by identifying internal stakeholders that are necessary to make marketing successful.

The program is concise and demonstrates healthy balance between theory and practice, with 85% or more dedicated to practical frameworks. It is a must have for any new CMO, if you are changing jobs or moving into a fractional role. The program helped me to consolidate and organise my knowledge. The playbooks, questionnaires and reports will reinforce your tool box. Highly recommended.

  • For an investment of $5K, you'll create a more efficient and effective marketing approach, leading to increased revenue, lower marketing costs and higher productivity.

    There's no other program that provides this level of structured training, proven frameworks implemented with over 45 companies (including Inc 5000 and Fortune 500), 1:1 personalized mentorship and peer interactions over 8 weeks!

    Marketing conferences and events can cost a minimum of $4000 to attend. While they can be great motivators, research shows that people forget 50% of what they learn within one hour, 70% within 24 hours and 90% of the information within a week.

    Meanwhile, 94% of workers would stay longer if their employer offered more learning and career development opportunities. (LinkedIn)

    And employees who are involved in mentoring programs have a 50% higher retention rate than those not involved in mentoring and 93% of mentees believe their mentoring relationship was useful. (MentorcliQ)

  • Three things make this program special:

    1) It's an organized system implemented within dozens of companies (from startups to Fortune 500's). We give you tools, frameworks and templates neatly packaged and ready to use.

    2) We don't just tell you WHAT to do. We tell you HOW to do it to get maximum impact. We help you build your leadership skills—like getting executive support—presenting to your CEO and being seen as a strategic and credible team member by your product and sales team.

    3) Unlike on-demand courses, we're with you every step of the way. We provide weekly coaching calls where you get the guidance you need to move forward and get unstuck.
