Forefront Communications

2022 FINTECH
CMO SURVEY REPORT

ASSESSING THE FINTECH MARKETING LANDSCAPE

At Forefront Communications, much of our time is spent developing, implementing and assessing the results of marketing campaigns for our institutional fintech clients. We’ve learned many lessons since launching in 2016, but one stands out: In our business, change is the only constant.

 

From our conversations with various senior fintech marketers – clients and prospects, former colleagues, friendly faces from the conference circuit and more – we know many firms are in various stages of making their own adjustments to their fintech marketing and communications programs.

 

We saw this as the perfect opportunity to educate our readers on how these professionals are navigating the fintech marketing landscape today, including the program elements they are pursuing, the ways that their philosophy has shifted and any adjustments they have made due to the pandemic.

 

Thus, the annual Forefront Communications CMO Survey was born.

 

The insights that our respondents shared are numerous and diverse, but if there’s one overarching theme, it’s this: Fintech companies can no longer afford to put marketing and communications on the back burner.

Here’s a quick overview of just some of the topics we covered:
