Sarah Tate, Global Sales Skills Developmen Lead, Google, 2011 Scholar / UK

Amazing experience, life changing. Thank you for making this happen. We hope we were worth it.

Scholar Alumni, 2015 / Australia

When I was selected as a scholar for The Marketing Academy, I didn’t know what to expect. I soon discovered it is it one of the best kept secrets ever! I was surrounded by a group of exceptional marketers in my cohort, however the program itself really is not about marketing. It is in fact a world-class leadership development program that is deeply personal. I was forced to hold the mirror up to myself and reflect on who I am – both personally and professionally. This program helps you understand what’s really important in your life, and what type of a leader you want to be. During my TMA journey, I learned a lot and I grew as a person in a number of ways. I gained so much from the program and I’m fortunate to have formed strong, special relationships with people in my cohort, who are now friends for life. I will be forever grateful for this opportunity that has been transformational for me. If you’re thinking about applying for The Marketing Academy – stop thinking and do it – I cannot recommend it highly enough and promise it will be one of the best experiences of your life.

2020 Australia Scholar, Pamela Bishop, COO, Blooms the Chemist / Australia

Being a part of the Marketing Academy is like winning the National Lottery when it’s a double rollover. It has changed my life forever in the most positive way and allows me to share great things with people around me.

Bev Lam, 2010 Alumni / UK

After changing career for 3 times and across 4 continents I finally landed on The Marketing Academy, a platform that gave roots to my marketing passion and wings to my dreams of changing the world! Now I can lead from where I stand, wherever it may be.

Scholar Alumni, 2016 / Australia

10, 15 or 20 years from now, the scholarship at Marketing Academy will be seen as the defining point of my career. The lessons we’re learning from the best minds in business may not immediately effect our actions today but it will empower us to be better leaders of tomorrow.

Steven Woodgate, Surface Marketing, Microsoft, 2014 Scholar / UK

The Marketing Academy is the most incredible learning opportunity. The combination of open, inspiring and generous mentors, coaching sessions, bootcamp talks and workshops and lunch and learns provide a brilliant opportunity to soak up knowledge from incredible leaders and think about how you can apply the ideas to your own life and work.

Emily Hare, Editor, The Honey Partnership, 2015 Scholar / UK

There really is nothing like the Marketing Academy Scholarship program. I know that sounds like a clichŽ but it truly is a transformational programme that opens up your mind to a world of opportunity and thinking. We’re only half way through this years programme and I have already been inspired more than I can imagine as well as met some incredible people – many of which are my fellow scholars. If you have the opportunity to experience the Scholarship for yourself, then go for it – you won’t be disappointed!

Harriet Knight, Global Business Director, Ogilvy & Mather Advertising, 2014 Scholar / UK

The Scholarship has transformed my way of thinking and helped my development to become a better leader. It has made me realize what my values are, which now recognized is benefiting both myself and those around me. I have met some really inspirational people and have received invaluable advice and mentoring which will help me on my journey through the rest of my career.

Charlotte McDonnell, TUI, 2014 Scholar / UK

The Marketing Academy changed my future – it helped me realize my dream, the business leader I want to be and where my boundaries lay. It allowed me to have a massive injection of curiosity and is the reason I am now starting up my second business – anyone who doesn’t see how transformative it will be to them, their corporation and their life needs to look again.

The Marketing Academy should be compulsory for everyone.
