Names, job titles, and companies shown here are publicly available. Email addresses are partially masked for privacy.
Free plan available. No credits spent until you reveal an email address.
Chief Marketing Officers control marketing decision making. From strategy to headcount, and budget to media, you need their attention. Find their verified contact details, build lists, and send outreach emails to create meaningful relationships with them using Hunter.
Martech renewals and new tooling get signed off at CMO level. Pitch a marketing manager and you are really asking them to sell it upward for you, on their timeline rather than yours.
Agencies and consultancies win retainers through the person who writes the scope. Procurement sees it once the decision is already made.
Joint webinars, newsletter swaps, guest content, and integration launches all stall until marketing leadership signs off. Start with the person who can green-light the whole thing.
Event, newsletter, podcast, and community budgets all live inside marketing. The shared partnerships inbox rarely forwards anything on.
Hunter is a great tool for saving time and building pipelines and prospecting. Before we had Hunter in place I was spending a long time guessing emails and using up valuable time every day. The email verifier is also a game changer for our team.Sean Gallagher Commercial Account Executive at Lattice

Every contact comes with a verified email address, a confidence score, and the public sources it was found in.
Save your CMOs to a Leads list, then use Sequences to send personalized outreach without exporting anything.
Search from millions of companies and CMOs in Hunter, then reveal verified emails. Sign up and build your CMO lists for free.
Build your CMO email listStart in Hunter's Discover by filtering companies to your ICP: industry, company size, location, and the marketing tools they run. Once you have the accounts that fit, search the contacts inside them and filter by the Chief Marketing Officer role. You get the marketing leaders at companies worth targeting, each with a verified email, ready to save to a Leads list.
Plenty don't, and it isn't only small companies. Spencer Stuart's 2024 study found 34% of Fortune 500 companies had no enterprise-wide CMO. Below mid-market, the marketing lead is more often a VP of Marketing, Head of Marketing, Marketing Director, or the founder. In Discover you can filter for that whole set of titles in one search, so a company doesn't drop out of your list just because the org chart uses a different word.
A few routes cost nothing: check the Contact Info section of the CMO's LinkedIn profile, run a Google search like "name" + "@company.com", or look at the company's about and press pages, which often list a marketing contact. They work for the occasional lookup but get slow past a handful. Discover has a free plan, so you can build the list of companies you care about and reveal verified emails without the manual digging.
The quickest routes are the company's leadership page, the People tab on its LinkedIn company page, or the byline on its recent press releases. In Discover you can skip that step: pull up the company, then filter its contacts by the Chief Marketing Officer role. The person and their verified email come back together.
Yes. Discover detects the technologies running on a company's site, so you can build an account list around a specific stack, such as companies on Marketo, Klaviyo, Salesforce, or Pardot, and then pull the marketing leader inside each one. That matters more for CMOs than for most roles, because the stack is usually the thing you're pitching against or integrating with.
Each CMO email address comes with a confidence score that estimates how likely it is to be valid and deliverable. For certainty before you send, run any address through the Email Verifier, which checks it against the mail server in real time. The higher the confidence score, or once it’s verified, the more likely your outreach lands directly in the inbox and your sender reputation stays intact.
Each email address is verified against the mail server at the moment you reveal it, and the confidence score tells you how safe it is to send. Continuous refresh matters more here than for most roles: CMO tenure averages 4.1 years at S&P 500 companies, the shortest in the C-suite, so a marketing list that isn't re-verified ages badly.
Reference their marketing, not their company. A line about a campaign they launched or an event that landed carries more weight than any pitch: emails with two personalized details reply at 5.6% against 3.6% with none, and 67% of decision-makers say personalization from public information makes them more likely to answer. Skip the category pitch too. A CMO already knows what an attribution tool or a content agency does; what they don't know is which gap in their setup you're pointing at. Sounding too sales-focused is the top reason outreach fails, named by 65% of decision-makers, so lead with the gap you spotted. And write something they can forward: plenty of CMO replies are really a hand-off to a demand gen or content lead with two words on top, so keep the ask legible to whoever reads it second. The full breakdown is in Hunter's State of Email Outreach report, built on 31 million emails.
There's a floor on how short a subject line should go. Five or six words is the sweet spot in Hunter's data, and two personalized details push open rates to 40%, up from 35% with one. Skip the tired "Quick question" template, which underperforms.
Most replies don't come from the first email. Sending three messages instead of one lifts total replies by 106% (6.8% against 3.3%), but a fourth and fifth start to hurt. Two well-timed follow-ups is the ceiling.
Rules vary by country. In the US, CAN-SPAM allows B2B email outreach as long as you identify yourself, use an honest subject line, include a working opt-out, and add a valid postal address. In the EU and UK, GDPR and PECR allow it where you have a legitimate interest and the message is relevant to the person's role. Either way, stay relevant and honour opt-outs. This isn't legal advice, so confirm the rules for the regions you target.
You can, but a pre-built list starts decaying the day it's sold, and marketing leadership churns faster than the rest of the C-suite. People move, titles change, and unverified addresses bounce and dent your sender reputation. Building your own in Discover gets the same result without the risk: you set the filters, and every email is verified the moment you reveal it, not months ago.
The confidence score estimates how likely an email address is to be valid and deliverable. A 95%+ score means Hunter is highly confident the address is correct. Lower scores are flagged so you can decide whether to send or verify further.
Yes. Export any list to CSV, or connect Hunter to your CRM to sync contacts directly. From there you can load them into Hunter Sequences or your own outreach tool.
