Jack Hardy ACIM Chartered Marketer

Jack Hardy has a well-established track record of achieving a return on investment for national and international B2B and B2C brands via marketing.

He attributes this to 3 key factors:
1. Working with cross-functional teams within businesses to ensure marketing is   
    aligned with business objectives.
2. Continuous professional development, which CIM has heavily contributed to.   
3. A vast set of marketing skills due to starting his career in graphic design.

His career now focuses on growth marketing for a range of technology brands in a hands-on consultancy role, in which he leads digital strategy and implements the tactics.

Jack was one of the very first ACIM members to achieve the status of Chartered Marketer and is incredibly passionate about what CIM offers to marketers and the businesses they work with.

Jack joined the CIM Midlands Regional Committee as an Communication Ambassador due to a lack of marketing mentor figures throughout his career, which changed once he joined CIM. He intends to use the position to provide support and guidance to any marketer in a similar position.
