The Marketing Academy reveals the CMOs selected to join their renowned EMEA Fellowship Program

The Marketing Academy has selected the 24 CMOs and marketing leaders who will form the 2021 cohort of their EMEA CMO Fellowship Program. The board level executive development program, designed exclusively for CMOs, develops the skills to help make the transition to a CEO role or similar.

Developed in partnership with McKinsey & Company and sponsored by The CMO Club, the program is run by The Marketing Academy a highly respected non-profit organisation which develops leadership capabilities in talented individuals working in marketing, media, advertising and communications. Acceptance to all Marketing Academy programs in the UK, Australia and the USA is merit based and all programs are free of charge.
