Apprentice Stories
Marketing industry jobs are well paid, fulfilling and the environment is anything but stuffy. The marketing departments of our best-known brands, agencies (creative, digital, media or design), media owners and market research firms are crying out for a more diverse talent pool. The Marketing Academy Foundation finds world-class firms that will give smart individuals from challenging backgrounds an opportunity to begin their career.
Ambassador Stories
We have some amazing individuals who support our work. Some with money, some with help in kind and some with their fame. Some are determined to help people whose start in life was similar to their own, and some are passionate about giving a leg up to those who just weren’t as fortunate in life. Our current roster of Ambassadors includes, Cilla Snowball CBE, Group Chairman AMV BBDO, Syl Saller, CMO Diageo, Pauline Wilson, COO Virgin Holidays, Richard Robinson, Managing Partner, Oystercatchers, Simon Redican, CEO Pamco.
Fundraiser Stories
A group of Scholars from The Marketing Academy formed a group called Inspire, who are a dynamic band from companies like Sainsbury’s, Deliveroo, Barclays and Been There, Done That. Despite having high octane jobs, they fundraise like demons by creating a series of lectures that inspire leadership across the industry, and fundraise for The Marketing Academy Foundation. You can find the current schedule of events here. Just book it at http://www.themarketingacademy.org.uk/events
Sponsor Stories
The Prince's Trust have had an apprentice every year for four years. Jack Lowman, the head of marketing and author of "Hack Yourself" a self-development book, says "We have loved being part of The Marketing Academy and now the Marketing Academy Foundation's apprenticeship programme. Not only do we get a much appreciated extra pair of hands, but this programme represents everything we stand for as a Trust and we are lucky to watch individuals develop in capability and confidence so they can fly off to rewarding careers in the marketing world". This year they are taking two apprentices across the marketing and digital teams.
