Welcome to the 2021 Marketing Academy Digital Showcase.

In a year that turned us on our heads, tested our resilience and taught us that we’re always on mute when saying something really profound, we lost our old selves and we found each other. We hope you enjoy discovering more about our life-changing year and who are the people ‘behind the mask’. The stories you’ll discover are about the ‘me you don’t see’

In Loving Memory

We dedicate this page to honour the profound joy, scathing wit and incredible kindness that our friend and classmate, Lewis Shields, brought to this experience. There are no words to describe the loss we feel, alongside your family and friends. We’ll take forward what you taught us. Rest easy.

Vulnerability

The first introduction to one another was a formal headshot and a professional bio. Throughout the year, we dropped our masks and revealed our true selves. These new bios were written by our cohort Buddy, and paint a more complete picture of “the me you don’t see”.

Service

As dreamy Dr Max Godwin from Netflix’s New Amsterdam would say, how can I help? Hear from Lucy and Brook on how leading with service has changed their way of working.

Listening

Shhhh…just listen. Really listen. Listen deeply.

Yvonne and Fern share with us the lessons they learned when they stopped nodding and started listening.

Appreciation

Nobody taught us more about the power of appreciation and how far a small act of kindness can really go than the unforgettable Kath Koschel and her work at The Kindness Factory. Read more about the how acts of kindness transformed the 2021 Scholars experience.
