The CMO Podcast with Fexingo: Marketing Leadership, Budgets, and Executive Strategy

Lucas and Luna sit down with Chief Marketing Officers from Fortune 500 companies and high-growth startups to dissect how marketing dollars are actually allocated in 2024. Expect granular breakdowns of CAC-to-LTV ratios, brand vs. performance spend, and the real math behind a CMO's pitch to the board. Each episode takes one executive's actual budget sheet — anonymized but real — and walks through where they're doubling down, where they're cutting, and why. Lucas pushes for the numbers behind the narrative, while Luna challenges the agency side of the story, pressing on attribution models, creative risk, and the tension between short-term ROI and long-term brand equity. This isn't a high-level pep talk; it's a quarterly earnings call for the marketing function, argued out in real time. If you're a VP of Marketing preparing your annual budget, this is the conversation you wish you could have with your peers — without the NDAs. How do you defend a 15% increase in brand spend when every CFO is asking for efficiency?
