Tom O’Toole
Chief Marketing Officer
Global Hyatt Corporation

Session Description:

Web 2.0 applications...ecommerce...customer data analytics...are these developments the purview of marketing or information technology? Both. Marketing is largely and increasingly enabled by IT systems. When the CMO and the CIO align around functional initiatives and business aims, each function (and the enterprise as a whole) stands to benefit. Global Hyatt Corporation has taken that partnership to the extreme, placing both functions under one executive: Tom O'Toole, chief marketing officer (and chief information officer) for Hyatt worldwide. O'Toole will offer practical guidance to fellow CMOs on managing the relationship with IT to maximize marketing effectiveness.

Session discovery topics:

• The growing overlap between marketing and IT
• Marketing initiatives based on IT systems: Organizing roles
• The role of agencies
• The shared credibility-building interests between the CMO and CIO
