Only 35% of chief marketing officers would miss their agency if they disappeared overnight.
That’s one of the startling findings from a survey conducted by YouGov and commisioned by Leeds agency CreativeRace.
The survey questioned over 1,000 CMOs and Heads of Marketing in a bid to understand more about the challenges and issues they were facing.
