She shares how measuring her team on meetings gives content and campaigns a shared commercial direction. The conversation explores how marketing supports buyer decisions, learns from sales conversations, and applies AI with purpose. Paula also explains how aligning marketing priorities with company objectives strengthens the CMO’s contribution to growth. “Make sure that you understand what the company's north star is, and then put the puzzle pieces in place to point in that direction. I think any plan created without the outcome understood is a futile exercise.” - Paula Carneiro Cox Drawing on her background in sales, automation, and process improvement, Paula describes how marketing can contribute from the first introduction through the deal process.
