Real-time Updates: The dashboard should provide real-time or near-real-time updates to enable timely decision-making.
Customizable KPIs: The CMO should have the ability to customize and prioritize the KPIs displayed on the dashboard.
Data Visualization: Use interactive and visually appealing charts and graphs to present data in an understandable and insightful manner.

Customer Segmentation: Analyze customer segments to target specific audiences and understand their preferences.
ROI Analysis: Calculate the return on investment (ROI) for various marketing initiatives.
Competitor Analysis: Include competitor data to compare performance against industry benchmarks.
Mobile Accessibility: Ensure the dashboard is mobile-friendly to allow access on smartphones and tablets.
