Welcome to the Executive Roundtable for senior marketing executives in Stockholm on September 17th 2025!

The Executive Roundtable is a series of roundtable discussions born in 2022 out of the need for marketing leaders to get together around the same table to enjoy breakfast, share experiences and lessons from marketing leadership and strengthening marketing business impact in complex B2B industries.

The events are mostly invitation-only and tailored exclusively for senior marketing executives in complex B2B industries. Participation is free of charge and comes with no commitment.

The last session in Stockholm in May generated a lot of praise from B2B marketing leaders and we're excited to invite you to join the discussions in September!

An event topic

Topic for this roundtable is "Why every marketing function needs a vision for the future?". Based on our experience, discussions and assessments we've had with marketing leaders, without a clear vision for the future, marketing's impact on business and overall strategy remains vague. A concrete and bold vision provides clear direction, not only to you as an executive but also to your entire team, embracing accountability and guiding the marketing function towards the shared vision and outcomes. It also gives you as a leader a valuable tool to align and communicate with the key stakeholders outside marketing.

The questions we will discuss together include:

Why a vision is critical to marketing's impact and leadership?
How to create a clear, compelling vision that aligns with business strategy?
How to bring your vision to life?

The sessions are conducted under the Chatham House Rule to encourage open and productive discussions. This means participants are free to use the information received, but the identity and the affiliation of the participants must remain confidential. The event will be held in English.
