In an era where marketing is expected to do more than generate awareness, the conversation is rapidly shifting toward measurable impact and strategic leadership. Industry gatherings like IPS Global MKT Meet NYC 2026 reveal a growing consensus: success hinges not just on execution, but on clarity of purpose and the ability to articulate value across the organization. Increasingly, marketing teams are being challenged to step out of reactive roles and into positions of ownership, where accountability and influence shape business priorities rather than follow them.
This evolution signals a broader transformation—one where marketing is no longer a support function, but a driver of direction and results. To explore how these ideas are taking shape in practice, we turn to insights from An de Coen, Product Manager at TekniPlex, and Daniel Dutesco, Global Marketing Director and Demand Generation at TekniPlex.
