Hear from Chartered Marketers

The breadth of experience and skills acquired during a career as a marketing professional, across marketing disciplines and the simple recording and reflection of them over time, as part of my CPD, makes the process of achieving Chartered status a ‘no-brainer’, really. Why wouldn’t you?
Barbara Coleman Engagement Officer
For me, Chartered Marketer status is the gold standard measure and recognition of a marketer’s ability, experience and qualification to practice. It is the marketing equivalent of other Chartered professions like accounting and engineering.
Andrew Robertson Marketing Consultant
Marketing is an ever-changing field. For me, it’s important I keep up-to-date with the latest technologies, tactics and thinking. Chartered Marketer status allows me to demonstrate this investment to both my existing and future employer.
Neil Lakeland Group Head of Marketing and Communications
I am proud to be a Chartered Marketer and be recognised with a professional accreditation that marks me out in the industry I love. Having CIM underlie a marketer’s skills in such a competitive field makes being a Chartered Marketer a valuable attribute.
