The Marketing Academy UK Scholarship Mentor Award Winners

“A truly great Mentor is hard to find, difficult to part with and impossible to forget’’

The Marketing Academy is a staunch advocate of the power of mentoring. So much so that mentoring has formed a core part of their coveted Scholarship Programme for the last 11 years. The 9-month development program for emerging talent attracts hundreds of the industry’s highest profile CEOs and CMOs who each gift their time to mentor the Scholars.

The graduating class of 29 Scholars have selected just one person from all the inspirational leaders they met during the 2020 programme to receive a ‘Mentor Award’: a small way of appreciating the individual whose advice or input made an extra special impact. It’s one of the only industry awards that recognises leaders on a personal level rather than for the job they hold.

Founder & CEO of The Marketing Academy Sherilyn Shackell said “Mentoring has always been a key pillar of our programs. Our Mentors and speakers gift their time, freely sharing their wisdom and experience to help us nurture and develop our Scholars. We are privileged to have so many of the UK’s greatest marketers and leaders advise, encourage and inspire our Scholars and we created these Awards to celebrate these extraordinary people”.
