A UNIQUE PROGRAMME The programme has been devised following intensive consultation with world renowned marketing leaders and draws on the experiences, challenges and difficulties they encountered. It also harnesses the experience of The Marketing Society’s senior members and Fellows, and utilises the capability development skills of Brand Learning.

The programme addresses the strategic, commercial and leadership challenges facing senior marketers and their teams today. It is designed around Brand Learning’s CustomerCentred Leadership Framework and the fine balance between ‘being’ (behavioural skills) and ‘doing’ (technical skills). Particular emphasis is placed on the changing role of marketing and the impact this has on the strategic and commercial agenda, the challenges of marketing in the digital age and the leadership skills needed to succeed in a fast-changing world.

WHO WILL BENEFIT? Marketers in middle/senior line management positions who have been identified by their employers as likely candidates for more senior marketing leadership roles.

PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES 1. To provide insights and tools to help marketers handle the challenges involved in succeeding as a marketing leader.

2. To strengthen the strategic marketing skills and leadership behaviours of senior marketers.

3. To build awareness of best practice marketing activity and marketing leadership in a range of other companies and industry sectors.

4. To support each other in the development of a personalised marketing leadership action plan.
