Top guest speakers will donate their expertise to help fund two marketing apprenticeships at the second Inspire London: The Art of Learning and Leadership held on Thursday 2 April 2015, at Google Town Hall. The Inspire London conference brings together the brightest and best marketers from across the UK to collaborate, engage and educate each other on the themes of learning and leadership. Supporting The Marketing Academyโ€™s Merlin Apprenticeship Fund, all proceeds from the event will be donated to provide two fully paid marketing apprenticeships for young people aged between 18-24 who are currently not in employment, education or training (NEETS). The Marketing Academy developed Merlinโ€™s Apprenticeship programme in partnership with The Princeโ€™s Trust. Attendees on the day will hear from inspirational speakers, take part in interactive learning workshops and network with the most ambitious marketers from across the UK. Subjects covered will include emotional intelligence; creating a learning culture; authentic leadership and 10 top self-awareness tips. Confirmed speakers include:
  • Amanda MacKenzie โ€“ CMO of Aviva on loan to Project Everyone
  • Adam Morgan โ€“ Author, โ€˜Eating the Big Fishโ€™
  • Glenn Caton โ€“ Category Vice President, Northern Europe Mondelez International
  • Kathryn Parsons – Founder of Decoded
  • Sherilyn Shackell โ€“ Founder of The Marketing Academy
Sherilyn Shackell, Founder of The Marketing Academy and Merlinโ€™s Apprentice says: โ€œMarketing is a dynamic and competitive function and it is becoming increasingly difficult for young people to get a foot in the door. Iโ€™m thrilled that for the second year running, Inspire London is supporting this initiative which helps ensure a pipeline of talent diversity in Marketing for years to come and give disadvantaged young adults the skills and experience they need to build a career.โ€ For more information about Inspire London: The Art of Learning and Leadership and to book tickets please visit: inspirelondon2015.eventbrite.co.uk
