Invitation-only appointment brings veteran B2B marketing, strategic PR, and crisis communications leadership to Senior Executive Media's elite CMO community.

BOSTON, Nov. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ripple Effect Communications, an integrated B2B Marketing Communications and Public Relations (PR) agency, today announced that its founder and President , Valerie Harding, has been invited to join the prestigious Senior Executive CMO Think Tank, convened by Senior Executive Media.

The appointment cements Valerie Harding's position among an exclusive cohort of chief marketing officers, enterprise strategists, and agency leaders shaping modern marketing (MARCOM) best practices. Organized as a curated, criteria-based forum, the Senior Executive CMO Think Tank convenes select leaders to collaborate on the most pressing issues in executive marketing: brand trust in an automated world, digital transformation, narrative coherence across proliferating channels, and measurable marketing ROI.

"Modern CMOs and agency leaders aren't struggling to produce content; they're struggling to preserve brand equity in an environment oversaturated with automated noise," said Valerie Harding, Founder and President of Ripple Effect Communications. "Real engagement has never been about volume—it is about strategic positioning, narrative integrity, and earned credibility. Joining the Senior Executive CMO Think Tank offers an invaluable opportunity to collaborate with industry peers on setting higher benchmarks for brand accountability and marketing leadership."

As generative platforms and content-scaling software transform modern outreach, Ripple Effect Communications leverages decades of experience to pioneer an ROI-accountability model. The agency primarily serves high-tech software and AI-oriented clients across the manufacturing automation, logistics and supply chain, fintech, and life sciences sectors. With over 25 years of hands-on agency leadership, Valerie and her team offer the Think Tank insights rooted in real-world brand resilience, tier-one international media strategy, and global cross-border campaign execution via Eurocom Worldwide, a network of 45 offices covering 80 countries.

"Valerie's appointment to this prestigious council reflects the depth of strategic expertise across our global network," said Isabel Radwan, Eurocom Worldwide Network Director. "At Eurocom Worldwide, we understand what it takes to align cross-border messaging with measurable business outcomes." Mike Maynard, Chairman of Eurocom Worldwide Network and Napier Partnership Ltd., added, "Valerie's practitioner-first perspective will be a vital asset to the Think Tank as CMOs navigate international scale, brand trust, and digital transformation."

Ryan Paugh, CEO and founder of Senior Executive Media's Think Tank programs, emphasized the initiative's commitment to surfacing actionable, practitioner-led perspectives rather than theoretical commentary.

"Senior Executive Media is dedicated to amplifying the voices of practitioners who are actively driving business outcomes," said Paugh. "Inviting Valerie Harding to join the CMO Think Tank was a natural choice. Her firm, Ripple Effect Communications, brings decades of battle-tested experience guiding B2B brands through complex market positioning, crisis communications, and evolving media landscapes. Valerie's strategic clarity and performance-driven approach make her a tremendous strategic asset to our community and our executive readership."

As a contributing member of the Think Tank, Valerie and the Ripple Effect Communications team will support the publishing of commentary addressing thought leadership positioning, branding through digital transformation, and closing the gap between marketing initiatives and revenue outcomes.
