Fashion CMO & Brand Executive Search

Norman Consultants recruits CMOs and brand leaders for fashion and apparel brands — the executives who make a brand desired and turn desire into demand.

The mandate

The fashion marketing mandate

In fashion, marketing is the conversation between a brand and its culture. The modern fashion CMO holds brand, performance, content, social, and community in one strategy — building cultural relevance while owning the metrics that drive sell-through. The brands that win are the ones whose marketing feels native to the moment and still delivers commercially.

We recruit marketing leaders for luxury, contemporary, and founder-led fashion brands — leaders who pair brand instinct with full-funnel, data-fluent commercial marketing.

What we look for
