This is the 15-Minute LinkedIn fix every marketing executive needs in 2025.
Last month, a Fortune 500 CMO was passed over for a CEO role. The feedback? “Strong traditional marketing background, but no visible AI leadership.”
Her LinkedIn profile mentioned “digital transformation” five times. AI? Zero.
Meanwhile, 73% of senior marketing roles now require AI experience.
Boards, recruiters, and your own leadership are actively scanning profiles for AI fluency. If your profile doesn’t scream “AI-forward,” you’re already behind. CMOs who can’t demonstrate AI leadership are increasingly seen as “legacy executives.”
Don’t let that be your story.
