“A truly great Mentor is hard to find, difficult to part with and impossible to forget’’
The Marketing Academy is a staunch advocate of the power of mentoring. So much so that mentoring has formed a core part of their coveted Scholarship Programme for the last 7 years. The 9 month development programme for emerging talent attracts hundreds of the industry’s highest profile CEO’s and CMO’s who each gift their time to mentor the Academys Scholars.
Every year the graduating class of 30 Scholars each selects just one person from all the inspirational leaders they meet across their Scholarship year to receive a ‘Mentor Award’, a small way of appreciating the individual who made an extra special impact. It’s one of the only industry awards that recognises leaders on a personal level.
Founder of The Marketing Academy Sherilyn Shackell said ‘We are so lucky to have some of the UK’s greatest marketers and leaders donate their time to advise, encourage and share experiences with our Scholars. We created the Mentor Awards as a way to celebrate those extraordinary people who donate their valuable time to help develop the next generation of leaders’
The Marketing Academys graduating Scholars announced these special accolades during an event at the British Film Institute on 9th May at London’s Southbank.
