Last year we celebrated our 20th year of The Marketing Leaders Programme and now for 2025 we have some exciting new elements that wanted to share with you as applications are now open. 

Bought to you by The Marketing Society, and powered by Accenture Song, the Marketing Leaders Programme (MLP) is a unique development experience for high-potential marketers who are preparing for senior leadership roles. Applications are now open for our 2025 cohort, for a programme that is all about supporting the development of great marketing leaders, with a new venue and new content concepts - register your interest today. 

Will you join our career-changing programme? It's time to find your magic and grow with the flow with 5 days of immersive development at our new venue, Tewinbury in Hertfordshire. 

MLP has undergone a fresh and vital transformation to enable delegates to engage in a purposeful journey of self-discovery. Our new venue nestled deep in the Hertfordshire countryside radiates rural/rustic charm and provides a peaceful, safe retreat utilising the energy of outdoors to open attendees’ minds to new possibilities and ways of thinking. Renowned industry leaders and speakers will provide stimulating interruptions from the daily flow helping delegates craft their personal leadership story, while the intimate nature of the experience gives participants the security to reveal their true selves – and this is when the magic happens. 

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.

MLP is founded on the belief that personal growth is achieved through shared experience – it helps us appreciate what is possible, what we are capable of and to work out what we need to do about it. This is why MLP shares perspectives from great marketing leaders who join as guests, expert guest contributors, leadership coaches who are with you all the way and of course you as part of the MLP community.

It’s you and the mindset you bring that can make all the difference. You can expect to be inspired, stretched and challenged on MLP and you get out of it what you put in.
