Find a major player?

Hey Warriors!

I'm trying to find out (and contact) the CMO of a very big company. There website is no help, googling "CMO (company name)" does nothing.

What other methods do you recommend to find out who these people are, and how to contact them?

      Should I just google that, or do you have a specific service you recommend?

      Also, I'm not looking to find out if someone has a criminal record... I don't know who the person is.

      I want to find out who holds the spot of CMO.

        Sorry, now I understand what you're asking.

        Yes, I'd try LinkedIn. Find the HR person and ask to join their network. Most likely, the top company people (including the CMO) are in there.

        And yes, you could just call the company operator and ask what the CMOs name is.

        Even an operator or customer service outsourcer should be able to direct you to a manager who can provide you a name, or atleast a corporate office mailing address / email address / phone number.

        Hope that helps.

    Not to sound flip but can't you just phone the company and ask?

      If I told you this company doesn't list a customer service number on their website would it give it away who I'm talking about?

      Also, many major businesses (this one too I believe) outsource, or at the very least divide their corporate offices from their customer service offices. The customer service rep making $9/hour will likely know less than I do.

        How big of a company are we talking? I'm sure there's information regarding who the CMO is online... Finding their contact information is a completely different topic, you're best bet is trying to work your way from the bottom to the top.
