This is not a business card exchange group.
CMOs don’t need another marketing podcast. Or newsletter. Or networking event. They need real relationships with executives who get it. BayAreaCMO is where leading marketers let their guard down, swap war stories, and figure out what actually works. No sales pitches, no fluff—just candid conversations, killer ideas, and the kind of trusted relationships that help you lead with confidence. (And maybe laugh a little along the way.)
With peer-led discussions and meaningful connections facilitated by a dedicated Executive Director, membership equips you with the insights, connections, and confidence to lead in a fast-paced world.

Great marketing wins awards.
Great CMOs deserve recognition too.
Behind every award-winning marketing campaign is a CMO leading the vision, shaping the strategy, and owning the results. You know the Addys, the Webbys, and the Effies. Now, meet the ORBIE Awards, the ultimate recognition for the leaders behind the work.
The ORBIE® is the preeminent executive recognition for C-suite leaders. Since 1998, the ORBIE Awards have recognized leadership excellence, fostered executive relationships, and inspired the next generation of leaders.
