From Backroom to Boardroom

Reimagine marketing and prove you deserve a seat at the table

Dr. Debbie Qaqish has written the definitive manual for Marketing Operations to lead the charge in successful change for driving revenue.
— David Alexander, Vice President of Marketing at F5

Marketing is the driving force behind better businesses. Marketing departments create more than campaigns, clicks and shares; their work creates bottom-line growth by building meaningful relationships. Through her work and writing, Dr. Debbie Qaqish is removing the stigmas keeping B2B marketing in the margins.

In her book, From Backroom to Boardroom, Dr. Debbie shares the methods currently revolutionizing marketing departments across the country. Key to her message is the shift from the traditional mindset to what she calls “strategic marketing operations.” By embracing this new tactic, CMOs are empowered to lead digital transformation, create a customer-centric approach and ultimately, drive revenue. Her research on this subject led not only to proven results, but it also created an actionable blueprint for CMOs everywhere. Readers of From Backroom to Boardroom are given a clearly defined mindset, skillset and toolset for building their own strategic marketing operation.

Diving into the real-world trials and success stories that shaped her philosophy, Dr. Debbie provides a roadmap for CMOs hoping to earn a spot at the table—and keep it. Her Marketing Operations Maturity (MOM) model has propelled dozens to the vanguard of modern marketing. From Backroom to Boardroom intersperses these stories through Dr. Debbie’s interviews with front-runners who embraced her practical, approachable methods.

If you want to redefine what marketing means to your organization and prove you are ready for the next level of your career, pick up a copy of From Backroom to Boardroom today.
