Welcome to the Executive Roundtable for senior marketing executives in Stockholm on November 26th 2025!

The next Executive Roundtable dives into the key findings from Mavenfirst’s Marketing Strategic Role assessments. Over the years, we've had the privilege of working with leading B2B marketing executives just like you, and we’re bringing their most pressing challenges to the table to fuel a powerful discussion.

Our session will center on the crucial questions that emerge from our data:

Why is there often a disconnect between how marketing sees its own value and how business leaders perceive it?

What are the core enablers and detractors for marketing to truly become a strategic business partner?

How can you expand marketing’s business impact beyond traditional marketing metrics?
