Business Insider debuts CMO Insider vodcast ahead of Cannes Lions

This week, Business Insider launched a new vodcast, CMO Insider. Hosted by Lara O'Reilly, the series features candid conversations with the marketing leaders behind some of the world's biggest brands.

CMO Insider is part of Business Insider's broader work to reach audiences across platforms on the topics that matter most to them. The franchise now spans a newsletter, video, brand partnerships, and events, including our waitlisted CMO Insider Breakfast at Cannes Lions.

The inaugural three-episode CMO Insider video series, presented by LinkedIn Ads, features:

  • Rankin Carroll, Chief Marketing Officer of Mars Snacking, discussing Mars' $36 billion acquisition of Kellanova, the lessons that have shaped his career, and where he sees marketing heading next.
  • Charlie Smith, Chief Marketing Officer of Nothing, on the company's partnership with Charli XCX, making technology culturally relevant, and competing against Apple and Samsung.
  • Raja Rajamannar, Senior Fellow at Mastercard, sharing his perspectives on leadership, creativity, innovation, and the evolving role of marketing in business.

CMO Insider is where marketing leaders share candid perspectives, career lessons, and the ideas shaping the future of the industry.
