Marketing & Brand

The best marketing leaders understand the whole business. They connect customer insight, proposition, brand, digital and commercial performance, and know how to turn strategy into growth.

Hunter-Miller conducts retained searches for senior marketing and brand leaders across sectors and ownership models, from established international businesses to ambitious growth companies. Our cross-sector perspective means we look beyond people who simply have the right job title and find leaders with the experience, judgement and spark to solve the particular challenge in front of them.

Marketing leadership looks different in every business.

We've found senior marketing and brand leaders for listed companies, PE-backed businesses, privately and family-owned companies, entrepreneurial growth businesses and international groups. We understand that the right leader for an entrepreneurial growth business may be very different from the right leader for a global corporate, even when the job title is identical.

Our clients also often ask us to advise on organisational structures, role definitions and job descriptions before a search begins. We understand how senior marketers translate strategy into action, measure its impact and work with commercial, finance, technology and customer leaders.

Notable Appointments

We know the discipline, not just the job.

We don't believe the best marketing leader necessarily comes from the same sector as your business. A successful leader in one environment may have exactly the experience needed to solve a completely different challenge elsewhere.

We look for the combination of experience, capability, curiosity and character that will make someone successful in your particular environment, not simply someone whose CV looks familiar.
