The Marketing Academy has invited Australian marketing, media and advertising leaders to apply for its 2024 Scholarship Program.

The program, which is free to enter and has run for nine years in Australia, helps develop high-potential leadership talent across the industry.

Scholars will be able to access C-suite mentors and executive coaches in addition to residential ‘Boot Camps’ between March and November 2024.

Over 450 people within marketing, advertising, media and communications competed for just 30 places in Australia for this year’s intake, which included talent from Optus, Mars, Google, Suncorp Tourism Australia, The Monkeys, Publicis Groupe and more. 

Graduates of the programs are supported by ongoing Alumni Programs, which are supplemented by The Marketing Academy Virtual Campus, a 12-month program of lectures, masterclasses and workshops exclusively for The Marketing Academy community and sponsors. 

The Australia Alumni program has 240 members and is currently sponsored by Salesforce. 

Potential Scholars must first be nominated by their bosses or peers at: Marketing Academy Scholarship  to be considered for selection. 

The deadline for nominations is 17 November 2023.
