Black & White Zebra

We’re making a bigger bet on marketing leaders. And Paul Hiebert is joining BWZ as Senior Editor, The CMO Club to help us make it count. Paul has spent 15+ years at the intersection of journalism, research, data, and storytelling—with experiences at ADWEEK, YouGov, Ragan Communications and PR Daily, and HarperCollins, plus bylines in The New Yorker and The Atlantic. In other words: he knows how to find the signal in a lot of noise—and turn it into something people actually want to read. That’s important for where we’re taking The CMO Club. Paul will lead editorial for the brand, building research-backed, practitioner-led content that earns the attention—and trust—of marketing leaders and gives them a reason to keep coming back. More useful. More original. More worth a busy CMO’s time. You’ll be seeing Paul on The CMO Club very soon. Welcome to BWZ, Paul! 🦓
