Vanessa Liell And Darren Discuss How Marketing And Corporate Comms Must Collaborate In A Digital Age

Vanessa Liell. Partner at boutique corporate advisory, Orizontas, discusses why bridging this divide between marketing and corporate communications is a critical leadership issue. Historically, marketing and corporate affairs were separated for sensible reasons. Marketing focused on reach and commercial outcomes, while corporate affairs managed risk, reputation, and stakeholder relationships.  But today, with sustainability, regulation, politics, and brand all colliding in real-time, that separation is costing organisations real outcomes. In a world where campaigns can trigger regulatory scrutiny overnight and reputation is shaped at the speed marketing operates, the question isn’t why these functions don’t work together. It’s whether organisations, agencies, and leaders can still afford not to.
