The Marketing Society is proud to launch its first-ever scholarship in partnership with TikTok to champion and help accelerate the careers of young marketers in the UAE.
In line with the UAE’s Year of the 50th, The Marketing Society is offering 50 subscriptions to the future leaders of the marketing industry, which will provide access to thought leadership content, publications, webinars, select events, mentoring opportunities and development training from the TikTok and The Marketing Society communities.
The scholarship is open to Emirati’s and residents of the UAE within the marketing, advertising, communications, and PR industries – whether they’re client-side, agencies or media houses and have less than five years’ experience in their field. Know any risk-takers that are bursting with creativity and endless ideas and possess an entrepreneurial verve like no other? Or someone who uses initiative and delivers results for their client’s day in day out? Have these rising stars excelled in their career to date, been involved in projects that exceeded expectations and demonstrated a drive that sets them apart from their peers? Then nominate them now.
