The scholarship alumni programs

Where Tomorrow’s Leaders Stay Connected, Inspired & Impactful.

Since 2010, The Marketing Academy Scholarship has identified and accelerated the careers of hundreds of rising stars across the UK, US, and Australia. These individuals represent the next generation of visionary marketers, agency leaders, and brand architects.

The Scholarship experience is intense, transformative, and unforgettable. But it’s also just the beginning.

Upon graduation, Scholars join our Global Alumni community for ongoing development. With regional programming & social events, our Alumni programs that continue to grow in depth, diversity, and influence, with each graduating cohort. The Marketing Academy Alumni are amongst the top 1% of talent in marketing, media and advertising all committed to leading not just with brilliance, but with integrity and purpose.
