RESEARCH STRATEGY
The research team could not find any company's CMO or VP of Marketing, or their phone numbers or email addresses.
We began our research on each company's website and found information about each manufacturer that is included in this report. Some sites had an employee or other corporate officers, but none of the sites had information on its CMO or VP of Marketing.
We then moved our research to email and phone locator sites such as Hunter, Zoominfo, and Rocket Reach, but we were unable to find the companies on these sites. We also reviewed business sites such as Hoovers, Crunchbase, and the Better Business Bureau, where we located more company information, including corporate contact emails and phone numbers. However, we were unable to locate the name of the company CMOs or VPs of Marketing. We also reviewed social media sites such as LinkedIn and Facebook for the companies and employees and located some employees for the listed companies, but no CMO or VP of Marketing was found. We also explored trade organizations such as the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association, and Design Guide, where more corporate information was located, but none revealed the names of company CMOs or VPs of Marketing.
Next, we explored news portals such as Business Wire, Bloomberg, and Barbeque News for articles, reviews, and press releases for the companies listed in this report. We located articles on models of grills, reviews, new releases, and company partnerships, but we were unable to find information on corporate officers or their emails and phone numbers.
Since many of these companies are small, and most are privately-owned, it can be assumed that they do not wish to make their corporate offices known to the public, or they do not have a CMO or VP of Marketing. In place of CMOs or VPs of Marketing, we used another corporate officer or employee whose name was available to the public, and when that employee email or phone number was not available, we used the main corporate email and main phone number.
