The wider mentor list also includes leaders from agency brands including IPG Mediabrands and Omnicom Media Group.
The scholars also this year get access for 10 of their teams and colleagues to partake in The Marketing Academy’s online development program, Virtual Campus, which launched last year in the midst of the pandemic.
“It is deeply gratifying to see that the marketing, media and advertising industry remains committed to developing the skills and leadership capability of its talent through its ongoing support of The Marketing Academy in Australia,” The Marketing Academy founder and global CEO, Sherilyn Shackell, said.
“Along with our mentors, executive coaches, partners’ and teaching faculty, we remain utterly dedicated to ensuring the pipeline of future Board level talent continues to thrive and that our incredible Scholars will be supported in their ambitions to positively impact our brands and agencies for years to come.”

Our latest CMO 2022 readiness episode on the great resignation and staff motivation and leadership is now live!
Creating meaningful brands should be a holistic and considered process. However, all too frequently it’s one that is disparate and reactive, where one objective is prioritized at the expense of all others. So, what are the key pieces to the ‘good’ brand puzzle?
Companies encounter a variety of challenges when it comes to marketing overseas. Marketing departments often don’t know much about the business and cultural context of the international audiences they are trying to reach.
