Those who have demonstrated exceptional potential as natural marketers or who have shown outstanding entrepreneurial ability or exceptional achievement in the face of adversity will be considered.
* There are many reasons that this program is not suited to individuals currently in transition between roles or freelancing. Please download the ‘Full Program Guide’ below and refer to the FAQ section on pages 8-11 for more information and support.
While the program is open to applicants from the USA, Canada, and those based in the US holding valid US visas, we may have to defer an applicant’s place in the program or in the selection process to the 2027 cohort if, at any point, it appears that border restrictions, visa issues, or other travel limitations may prevent full participation in the required residential events. This measure is in place to ensure a fair and complete experience for all participants.
