TESTIMONIALS

AMI Mentoring Program – Emerging Marketers

Participants

Jane Hillsdon

Dragonfly Marketing

2021 Mentor

“One of the best things about being a mentor in the AMI Emerging Marketers program is that I have the great fortune of working closely with the next generation of ambitious and talented marketers. It’s a really rewarding experience to be able to provide guidance to someone at the beginning of their career. I also learned a lot about how as a senior marketer, I can help to provide the leadership and support that will be valuable to the marketers of the future to help them succeed.”

Chris Lawn

Anglicare

2021 Mentee

“I’ve gained a better understanding of some key career planning concepts, which has helped me to refine my goals. Being able to discuss each month’s topic with Kate has provided valuable extra insights. The saying ‘you get back what you put in’ has been very true of this program for me. Making detailed notes from my mentor catch-ups, program materials and the webinars has assisted me in taking on board what I’ve learnt.”

Kristie Atkins

WINK

2021 Mentor

“Not only is mentoring a great way to give back to the profession, it ensures you are building strong connections with the next generation of marketing leaders. AMI brings great structure to and support for the process. I would highly recommend the program to other Certified Practicing Marketers.”

Marcus Kirchner

Maggie Beer Products

2019 Mentee

“The Emerging Marketers Mentoring Program has been a valuable source of help to me during my first year of full-time work, with my mentor helping me talk through any of the challenges I was having, and getting the crux of issues causing these challenges.”

Alexei Domorev

Greenlamp

2021 Mentor

“It is my first time participating in the program, but it has been a really enjoyable journey. One thing that I particularly like about the program is its flexible format. Very often our discussions will venture away from the monthly topic, but somehow it all ties together at the end. So, a big thank you to the team at the AMI who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to put this program together. It is a win-win-win for everyone involved.”

Emily Buchhorn

3M

2021 Mentee

“The Emerging Marketers program has been an invaluable experience for my career development. The focus topics were insightful and relevant to the modern workplace and more importantly, my mentor became an invaluable supporter, leader and friend. I highly recommend the program for all”

A Word

From AMI Mentoring Program – Emerging Marketers Patron

“I’m really proud to be the patron of the AMI Emerging Marketers Mentoring Program. Mentoring is valuable for marketers at any stage in their career because it gives you a network and someone to lean on as well as additional support and that feedback loop which is invaluable for all marketers. For senior marketers looking to give back, get involved because what we might take for granted as marketers and as assumed knowledge isn’t actually and we can provide some great insights, council and leadership to our community and what that will do is give our whole marketing community, and more broadly Australia a better outcome. “
