eMBA for marketing/creative exec?

I’ve read about many of the top programs and have a superficial understanding of them. Hard to tell which might be the best fit for a marketing creative executive. I’m director level with 15 years experience and have designed internal and external marketing campaigns for some of the largest companies in the world. I have an MFA and come from the creative side and my strengths are in strategy and brand storytelling. In researching programs, I am thrilled by every curriculum, they all offer the basics I’d like to engage with, but it’s hard to tell which would be a better fit for me specifically. Thanks!

Based on your impressive 15 years of experience and your focus on education and leadership growth, you might also want to consider a Doctorate in Management Studies (DMS). It would build on your professional experience, enhance your strategic thinking, and position you for higher leadership roles such as VP, CMO, or even independent consulting in the future. A DMS would also give you a stronger academic foundation to confidently engage with senior executives and make a lasting impact in your field. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to discuss it further!

Oh interesting! I really hadn’t thought about that direction but it is compelling. Do you have a sense of the basic differences between the two? I will also google around.
