Over the past three decades, Cranfield has focused on developing the marketing function and believes that marketing has a critical strategic role to play. Done properly, strategic marketing can contribute enormously to organisational performance.

That knowledge and expertise is captured in our Marketing Directors’ Programme, designed specifically for you to organise the marketing function into a potent strategic contributor to the business.

This flagship programme is not about the next breakthrough in marketing communications, or how to use big data and ever better marketing planning tools. Rather, it addresses the core of the marketing director role: how to lead and implement strategic marketing change so as to deliver even greater value to your organisation.

The programme is delivered by Cranfield’s most senior academics including:

  • Emeritus Professor Malcolm MacDonald, the world’s most celebrated strategic marketing planning thought leader.
  • Dr David Butcher, Cranfield’s Director of Executive Programmes and advisor to numerous FTSE 100 boards.
  • Professor Hugh Wilson, voted one of Britain’s most influential marketing thinkers and a regular contributor to Harvard Business Review and other high impact journals.
  • Professor Stan Maklan, CRM expert and Cranfield’s leader in Big Data Marketing Analytics.
