When Sara Larsen reflects on the origins of CMO Huddles, she sees a community that began as a much-needed source of connection and support during an uncertain time.
CMO Huddles brought small groups of marketing leaders together when they were navigating new challenges every week. Over time, that support grew into a larger community that continued to offer both practical resources and a place for honest peer connection.
CMO Huddles gave Sara and other CMOs a forum that felt like therapy when no similar space existed. It also became a pragmatic resource for finding support, making connections, and even hiring through the community.
For Sara, CMO Huddles’ growth reflects the power of Drew Neisser’s early commitment and the lasting value of CMOs connecting with one another.
“First of all, Drew, I want to thank you for your work five years ago when you started CMO Huddles. I think you started this really pro bono.
You brought groups of people together. It was one group, and then it was two, and then it was three, and then it was four, and there were so many huddles.
It was an opportunity for those smaller groups of us to get together because we didn’t know what was going on. We were dealing with all kinds of crazy things. Every week there was something, and it was almost like this therapy session that didn’t exist anywhere else in the world.
I really appreciate your personal commitment to learning what was going on and jumping in and taking action. I’m just so thrilled to see how the community has grown, how your impact has grown, your team has grown.
Thank you for starting that seed five years ago. I just love connecting with the folks in the CMO Huddles community. Again, it continues to be therapy, but it’s also very pragmatic.
I’ve been able to get some great resources, done some hiring out of the CMO Huddles team. So thank you, and here’s to another five more years.”
