Over 220 marketers weighed in this year, with a heavy female skew (63% female, 37% male). Just over a third of the votes came from those in the 26-to-35 demographic and another third were 36 to 45, with young’uns under 26 representing 18% of votes. We heard some voices from the corner office, with 7% of participants holding a president or CMO title, while 15% of votes came from VPs or directors of marketing and 64% came from those in managerial roles. A whopping 44% had only been with their current company for one to two years, while 15% had been there over 10.
