The Marketing Society, together with Accenture Song, has developed the Marketing Leaders Programme (MLP) as a unique development experience for high potential marketers who are preparing for senior leadership roles.
Who will benefit
The programme is designed for senior marketers preparing for their next leadership role, typically those already leading teams and looking to take the next step in their career.
Building on the work of Leadership Coach Steve Radcliffe, the programme addresses the strategic, commercial and leadership challenges facing senior marketers and their teams today, with a focus on what marketing leaders need to do (technical marketing skills) and how they need to be (behavioural skills) in a rapidly changing and unpredictable world.
After attending the programme previous participants have returned to their businesses with the renewed energy and confidence to make positive change happen. They have brought a fresh leadership perspective, new ways of working, a greater capacity for their workload and an invaluable business network.
The Founders
The programme has been devised following intensive consultation with some of the world’s most successful marketing leaders and draws on the experiences, challenges and difficulties they have encountered throughout their careers. It also harnesses the wisdom and experience of The Marketing Society’s senior members, whilst utilising the capability development skills of Accenture Song.
