DMA Mentoring. More than Just Good Karma

The DMA Mentoring Scheme will kick off its third round on 6th May. It’s proving to be an ideal vehicle to develop young talent in the marketing industry and introduce them to The DMA Group. With 24 people now mentored, there is measurable success. The feedback comments from the first mentees show this impact: ‘It definitely exceeded my expectations’ and ‘I think my mentor helped me A LOT’. One of the most telling comments was: ‘A true gem. I'll be lucky if I'm working for him one day’. That was not a mentee but from his mentor. It’s more than just good karma, both parties learn from the experience.

We are now looking for more mentors and mentees to take part. The next event will be on the afternoon of Friday 6th May and the programme lasts 3-6 months . There will be a short workshop for mentors followed by a speed matching session to find the best fit with mentees. Whether you are emerging talent or an experienced industry professional (or you know someone who fits the bill) then please contact Jessica Reilly at mentor@dma.org.uk.
