An extraordinary program of learning that will benefit the whole industry for years to come.
The Marketing Academy: An intense year of learning, self reflection, inspiration and friendship that is truly character defining. Allowing young talent access to a toolkit of skills that will equip them and those around them to reach their greatest potential.
A journey that will truly have a positive impact on your life. In an environment with like minded peers, passionate in achieving their potential and a support network that truly inspire and believe in you to make it happen!
The Marketing Academy is a unique program, offering its 30-strong cohort the opportunity to learn from the UK’s top marketing and business talent. From CEO lunches to mentoring to coaching, the network and opportunity offered by Sherilyn and team is unparalleled and is supporting the development of new modern leaders. It’s been a privilege to be part of such a wonderful program and personally, I’ve met some lifelong friends and hope to pay forward the learnings and experience.
You only need to look at the names of the mentors and board members involved in the Marketing Academy to see that this is a program like no other in the industry. A genuinely step changing program and a unique program of learning. And critically, because it’s free, it’s open to all- the only thing you need to bring is ability. A program that has a big role to play in the Marketing industry for many years to come.
I’ve been through a lot of developmental experiences and this was by far the best.
The scholarship is the single most inspirational program I’ve participated in professionally. I set a personal goal to join TMA, and this has been a life changing experience. It exceeded all of my expectations. I’ve learned how to be a better leader, I’ve become close with an outstanding cohort, I’ve had the privilege to hear world class speakers, and I’ve had an opportunity to become my best self. TMA is a journey – I am proud of where I have come, and excited for what comes next. What makes this program so powerful is not only the 8-month content, but also the opportunity to stay connected in the future with fellow scholars & alums, both through the Alumni group and the Virtual Campus. I am forever grateful to Sherilyn for developing such a powerful platform!
There’s nothing quite like The Marketing Academy, the talent and diversity of the people you meet equals pure inspiration and learning at its best.
A once-in-a-career opportunity to forge powerful personal connections with a diverse cohort of fellow marketing leaders across the entire industry.
From the point of deciding to apply for the Marketing Academy I have learnt more than I could have hoped for. Not only have I had the privilege of gaining invaluable mentoring, coaching and hearing from inspirational speakers, I have also learnt so much from my fellow scholars from different backgrounds. It’s been a unique and fantastically rewarding experience – you would have to be pretty mad to not want to be part of it!
The Marketing Academy Scholarship is without doubt the ultimate accelerator for marketers. The access to knowledge, experience, networks and best practice is second to none. In the coming years I’m convinced I’ll look back and see the year with the Academy as a pivotal point in my career.
Truly a wonderful program. It was honestly nothing like I expected in the best possible way. It challenged my thinking, made me a stronger leader, and made me really consider my trajectory. I’d wholly recommend it to anyone.
The Marketing Academy has inspired me to transform the way I think about the C-suite. It’s gone from a pipedream to an attainable goal!
It has been a huge privilege to be part of the 2017 TMA scholarship progam.
This is genuinely one of those ‘money can’t buy’, once in a lifetime opportunities.
My spirit overfloweth with the gospel of marketing’s great power.
The Marketing Academy is an incredible program run by dedicated, passionate people. It doesn’t just help you realize your potential. It helps you re-imagine the limit of your potential.
For me the Academy has all been about sharing. I still can’t believe the insights and stories that have been shared by industry leaders, faculty partners and the brilliant minds of scholars. This community of sharing has opened up a completely different future for me.
A real luxury to have the opportunity to step out of the day to day job to meet some inspirational people and learn how to hone my personal leadership style.
The Marketing Academy is not only career-defining, it’s life-changing. I have learned more than I could have possibly imagined from the inspirational speakers, mentors, my coach and of course the other brilliant scholars. I think everyone takes something different out of the program depending on their own vision and purpose and development areas, but for me the coaching on taking control of your own outcomes, becoming a key person of influence, and “daring to begin before you are ready” has had the most impact.
The Marketing Academy programme gave me the opportunity and chance to reflect intensely on my role as a leader at work, at home, in life. This reflection has brought a greater sense of self awareness and positivity to everything I touch. Eternally grateful.
