My engagement with the Society deepened when I was nominated for the Rising Marketing Star Award. Reflecting on and celebrating my early career successes throughout the nomination process was incredibly valuable. Being interviewed by market leaders in Scotland not only boosted my confidence but also strengthened my passion for the marketing industry. Winning the award was a career highlight and further fuelled my ambition.

The Marketing Society is one of the most well-connected groups in Scotland – and probably the most inspiring and enjoyable. You’ll find peers who become pals, not just business associates or even competitors. With easy outreach to London, New York, Singapore and the Middle East, the Society gives you a window on the world too.
