The first integrated CMO x CSO mini-MBA for today’s brand & sustainability challenges

In partnership with

The C-Suite Impact Leaders Accelerator & Community

The role of the CMO and CSO has never been more complex.

Brands face unprecedented pressure: climate, social issues, regulatory demands, and consumer skepticism. Meanwhile, the skillset required to navigate this landscape expands daily.

The problem? CMOs and CSOs often operate in silos. Marketing doesn’t fully understand sustainability. Sustainability doesn’t fully understand marketing. Yet the future of brands depends on their collaboration.

The solution? The C-Suite Impact Leaders Accelerator (CIL).

This 6-month, 10-session, 25+ hour journey brings CMOs and CSOs together for the first time in a structured learning and community.

Designed around the UN Global Compact’s CMO Blueprint, and in partnership with the IAA - the International Advertising Association - the CIL blends learning, hands-on casework, and peer exchange to help you:

  • Define authentic purpose and measure impact

  • Unlock demand while shaping new markets

  • Tell stories that cut through complexity

  • Build trust in skeptical audiences

  • Drive innovation that embeds sustainability at the core

  • Influence at boardroom level

This is more than a programme.

It’s a leadership accelerator + community:

  • Learn directly from global CMOs, CSOs, and key opinion-leaders

  • Work on real-world briefs and receive hands-on feedback

  • Expand your global network through live sessions and community channels

  • Gain a Certificate of Completion and ongoing learning resources

You’ll leave with sharper skills, deeper insights, stronger networks — and the confidence to lead your brand, and yourself, towards a more impactful future.

Applications are open now. Places are limited to ensure high-quality peer exchange.
