There is perhaps no more challenging role in the C-suite than that of the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) within a B2B organization. While the data on average tenure for CMOs changes each year, the consistent trend is that – among the C-suite – CMOs typically have some of the shortest tenure, well shorter than CEOs, CFOs and CIOs.

Timed popups are a specific type of popup window that appears on a webpage after a predetermined amount of time. Unlike immediate popups that appear as soon as a page loads, or action-based popups triggered by user behavior, timed popups rely on a set time delay to capture the user's attention. This delay can be calibrated to match the average time users spend on a page or tailored to appear at moments when engagement is likely to be highest.
