How CMOs Are Killing The Zero-Based Budget

From The CMO Podcast with Fexingo: Marketing Leadership, Budgets, and Executive Strategy · 8:40

Show by Fexingo

In this episode, we dissect why the zero-based budgeting model is collapsing under the weight of modern marketing complexity. We look at the specific case of a mid-cap consumer goods company that abandoned ZBB to fund experimental AI tools and creator partnerships, resulting in a measurable lift in customer acquisition cost efficiency. Lucas and Luna break down the operational friction that makes traditional budget auditing impossible for agile teams, and explore the alternative framework: value-based allocation tied directly to unit economics rather than historical spend. #CMOStrategy #MarketingBudget #ZeroBasedBudgeting #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MarketingLeadership #UnitEconomics #CreativeAllocation #GrowthMarketing #ExecutiveStrategy #MarketingROI #BrandBuilding #DigitalTransformation #ConsumerGoods #AcquisitionCost #AgileMarketing #DataDriven #MarketingOps Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
