It’s been in the works for several months, and now the CMO Council‘s first issue of the PeerSphere quarterly journal has arrived.

The new publication is available on the Web, via iPad and other tablets, in print, and on mobile devices, reaching 60,000 marketers around the world.

The inaugural issue features a roundtable of marketing leaders to share what they most love about marketing. It also delves in to topics such as geopolitical turbulence and the marketing consequence; MasterCard International’s strategy and approach to sponsoring the 2011 Rugby World Cup; an interview with the president of Safeway’s marketing division; and a profile of RAK Ceramics, a $1 billion emerging market success story.

The journal also has a host of global brands featured, including IBM, Yahoo!, and Saudi Telecom.
