Industry leaders, creative minds and the future of marketing joined together to celebrate the first year of The Marketing Academy in an evening event hosted by Rapier at The Battleship Building. The Marketing Academy – in its second year – is an exclusive academy of 28 selected ‘bright young things’ who learn from a unique forum of industry leaders, marketing gurus, academics, entrepreneurs and marketing practitioners who help to inspire, develop and coach an entire generation of future business leaders. It’s a year to receive mentoring and tutelage from a Who’s Who of the Marketing and Advertising world. WinkBall video reporters were there on Monday, 9th May 2011, to speak to attendees and scholars and find out what impression the Marketing Academy has had on them over the last year. 80 Mentors, 26 Coaches, 18 Judges, 30 Companies, 28 Charities make up some of the 200 people in attendance including past and current students as well as CEO’s from companies such as Pepsi and EasyJet.
