Why we created Azola Academy
Over 80% of CEOs don’t trust marketers. That’s not to say they don’t like marketers, or believe they need to do marketing - it's that they don’t always have a clear understanding of the financial impact marketing is making on their business growth.
The issue is partly due to how marketer’s do business. Over 63% of marketers don’t provide financial impact in their marketing reports.
It's not enough for marketers to just report numbers to their executive team; they need to communicate the significance of those numbers with transparency and clarity.
In doing this, they create a stronger partnership between CEOs and Marketers that fosters better trust and collaboration, ultimately leading to greater business success.
The goal in our mission is to help marketer’s showcase their financial impact so they can be recognized and rewarded for their efforts.
People who invest in their professional development see an average 8-15% increase in salary. We want to provide marketing professionals a premier platform to help increase marketing trust through leadership development, education and a peer community where marketers can go to lift each other up.
Together, we're bridging the trust gap between CEOs and Marketers to increase your company’s profitability.
