About us

In February 2010 The Marketing Academy was launched to develop leadership capability in talented marketers through the medium of mentoring, coaching and experiential learning.

Business leaders are increasingly concerned about the delta skill gap between our experienced marketers and the upcoming generation of future leaders. Succession planning is a business critical pastime, as the pool of experienced, passionate and driven individuals seems to diminish. The lack of emerging leadership talent has now become a significant issue around the Board tables across the UK.

Leadership capability, interpersonal skills, the ability to ‘engage’ face to face, the skill of influence and effective persuasion are being lost as our younger talent become further separated from the very people who have these skills in abundance.

So, imagine how much could be achieved in the development of our young talent if the current generation of successful CEOs, CMOs, Entrepreneurs, Agency Presidents and Academics were able to collectively share their knowledge, experience and wisdom with talented marketers on a one to one basis......and The Marketing Academy, run by the Marketing Hall of Legends (UK) a voluntary & non profit organisation, provides a forum to do just that.

We identify, nurture and develop a minimum of 25 exceptionally talented individuals each year through the medium of mentoring, coaching and face to face learning  Every Mentor, Coach and Organisation working with The Marketing Academy does so on a voluntary basis.
