Digital Marketing & Communications Council

Where enterprise leaders responsible for how brands are discovered, experienced, and represented across digital channels convene for unbiased peer insights.

The Digital Marketing & Communications Council is for senior leaders who own how their brand shows up — on social media, in search, in AI-generated answers, and across every digital touchpoint.

We bring together the people doing this work at the world's largest companies so they can move faster, make better decisions, and stop solving hard problems alone.

Board.org has been building peer communities for enterprise leaders since 2007. Today we serve 3,400+ leaders across 800+ organizations in 11 communities — including SocialMedia.org, the longest-running peer community for social media leaders in the world.

The Digital Marketing & Communications Council is our next chapter: a home for the leaders where social, search, and AI discovery are connecting.
