Why is marketing the most dangerous role in the boardroom?

Marketing, as a department and a discipline, is often stuck between a rock and a hard place. From the outside looking in it’s easy. An ad, a website, a logo. How hard can it be? Why does it cost so much and take so long?

The marketer knows why. The difference between success and failure can be a very thin line. And the work required to stay on the right side of that line in a predictable, commercially astute, and high-quality way is enormous.
