The Marketing Academy has confirmed its intake of 30 up-and-coming executive marketing leaders for the 2021 edition of its Australian program, a list that covers sectors from retail, financial services and FMCG through to agencies, publishers and technology providers.
The annual scholarship program is now in its seventh year in Australia and sees 30 marketing and business executives access a series of lectures and masterclasses, bootcamps, one-to-one mentoring and executive coaching each year to improve their business and board game. This year’s scholars also get a further 10 passes for their teams to access The Marketing Academy’s recently launched virtual camps.
To date, the Academy has built up an alumni of 180 marketers since its local launch.
The program this year is being sponsored by longstanding sponsors, Google, Commonwealth Bank KFC and IAG as well as new global sponsor, Salesforce.
This year’s list of mentors includes high-profile marketing leaders such as ABC director of audiences, Leisa Bacon, ANZ CMO, Sweta Mehra, Audi chief customer and marketing officer, Nikki Warburton, Coles CMO, Lisa Ronson, Lion CMO, Anubha Sahasrabuddhe, Optus CMO, Melissa Hopkins, Telstra CMO, Jeremy Nicholas, and IPG Mediabrands CEO, Mark Coad.
“It’s so exciting to be appointing the seventh cohort of the scholarship in Australia. The support we’re continually given by our incredible mentors, coaches, partners and speakers is remarkable and demonstrates the desire and need to place talent development at the heart of brands and agencies,” The Marketing Academy founder and global CEO, Sherilyn Shackell, commented.
“With over 750 alumni of our programs around the world we’re witnessing, every day, the phenomenal impact that comes as a result of investing in our talent, impact for them, their employers and industry itself.”

Flash back to the classic film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Television-obsessed Mike insists on becoming the first person to be ‘sent by Wonkavision’, dematerialising on one end, pixel by pixel, and materialising in another space. His cinematic dreams are realised thanks to rash decisions as he is shrunken down to fit the digital universe, followed by a trip to the taffy puller to return to normal size.
Why is it there is no shortage of leadership development materials, yet outstanding leadership is so rare? Despite having access to so many leadership principles, tools, systems and processes, why is it so hard to develop and improve as a leader?
As a nation united by sport, brands are beginning to learn money alone won’t talk without aligned values and action. If recent events with major leagues and their players have shown us anything, it’s the next generation of athletes are standing by what they believe in – and they won’t let their values be superseded by money.
