8:40 AM Keynote Fireside Chat: When the CFO Asks Why: Building the Marketing Case That Actually Gets Budget Approved

  • Framing retention, brand, and channel investments in the financial terms that shift how leadership weighs the tradeoff 
  • Identifying which measurement approaches signal rigor to a CFO versus which ones invite skepticism 
  • Building the internal case for initiatives without clean attribution stories before walking into the budget room 
  • Structuring the ongoing CFO-CMO relationship so marketing is pulling in the same direction as finance, not defending against it
