Building Your Marketing Team

Executive leadership is essential; however, no individual can single-handedly drive an entire company.

Although your initial requirement might be a Chief Marketing Officer, this individual will need a team. Oakstone’s executive recruitment experts can assist you in hiring your CMO and then hire the team that will report to them.
