Post by The Marketing Academy

The first Residential for Cohort Two of The Marketing Academy Global Fellowship is officially complete and what a way to begin. We opened the experience with a powerful smoking ceremony and guided bush walk led by Tim Selwyn at Girragirra Retreat, setting the tone for several unforgettable days of reflection, connection and leadership growth. From leadership under pressure and corporate finance, to AI strategy, ethics, culture and workforce innovation, the conversations were bold, generous, honest and deeply human. The kind of conversations that shape future business leaders and encourage them to expand their thinking and step deeper into the journey from CMO to CEO. A huge thank you to our incredible Fellows: Alexandra Sloane, Amir Widjaya, Andréa Beer, Astrud Burgess, Darragh Ryan, Florence Paoli, Gayatri Yadav, Hazel Pitchers, Jade McKellar, JODIE BLAKE, Julie Woods-Moss, Matthias Blume, Meredith Kelly, Ning Li, Pardeep Duggal, Rich Lawrence, Saarthak Sethh, Shaifali Gurnani Nathan, Sian Chadwick, Stephanie Ng and Teymur Valiyev. And thank you to our outstanding faculty and speakers: Sherilyn Shackell, Emma Beaumont, Thomas Barta, Syl Saller CBE, Jules Lund, Evan Williams, Ben Fletcher, Connie Chen, John McMurdo, Dr Simon Longstaff AO, Sarah Weiss, Mim Haysom GAICD and Lucio Ribeiro. We’re also incredibly grateful to our partners and sponsors Salesforce, Omnicom Oceania, The Brandtech Group, TikTok and our Knowledge Partner McKinsey & Company with a special thank you to Laleh Omalaki for helping make the magic happen behind the scenes. This is only the beginning for Cohort Two. Next stop: Mumbai. #TheMarketingAcademy #GlobalFellowship #LeadershipDevelopment #MarketingLeadership #CMOtoCEO
