How to find a CMO’s email address
Short answer
Search LinkedIn or Sales Navigator for the CMO titles below, filtered by Marketing and CXO, then export the search with the Scrupp Chrome extension. Scrupp returns each person with the work email and phone number it finds, so one search becomes a list of CMOs you can contact.
Who you are looking for
Titles that mean “CMO”
Many companies have no CMO title: the senior marketer is a VP Marketing, Head of Marketing or Head of Growth. Search for all of them, then sort by company size.
- Chief Marketing Officer (CMO)
- VP Marketing / Head of Marketing
- Head of Growth
- Marketing Director
A title search that catches most of them, pasted into the LinkedIn or Sales Navigator title field:
("CMO" OR "Chief Marketing Officer" OR "VP Marketing" OR "Head of Marketing" OR "Head of Growth" OR "Marketing Director") NOT (assistant OR intern OR agency)
More on the syntax: LinkedIn boolean search.
Step by step
From a search to CMOs’ emails
-
Step 1
Build the search
In Sales Navigator, set Function: Marketing and Seniority level: CXO, add the title search above, then narrow by company headcount, industry and geography. On regular LinkedIn, use People search with the title keywords and location.
-
Step 2
Check the first page
Read ten results. If people with the wrong job show up, add their title words to the search with NOT, then save the search so you can rerun it.
-
Step 3
Export with Scrupp
With the Scrupp Chrome extension installed, click its button on the results. Sales Navigator stops a search at 2,500 results; Scrupp exports more than that from the same search.
-
Step 4
Get emails and phones
Scrupp looks up a work email and a phone number for each person. Download the list as CSV or Excel, or send it to HubSpot or Pipedrive.
Before you write to them
What works with CMOs
- Marketing leaders get more vendor email than almost anyone; reference something specific to their company, such as a launch or a hire.
- At larger companies, Heads of Demand Generation or Marketing Operations often own the tools, so export them in a second search.
- Check the list before you send: Scrupp marks addresses on catch-all domains as probable rather than verified, and you can run a bulk check with the email verifier.
FAQ
Questions about finding CMO emails
What if the company has no CMO?
Search the other titles in the list. At startups the most senior marketer is usually a Head of Marketing or Head of Growth reporting to the CEO.
Will I get an email for every CMO?
No. Across Scrupp exports a work email is found for 36.3% of people, and the share depends on the companies in your list. You pay for an email only when one is found.
Do I need Sales Navigator?
No. A regular LinkedIn search with title keywords works. Sales Navigator adds the function and seniority filters, which make the list cleaner.
