Build a brand that drives results and develop the creative thinking that sets you apart

LIONS Learning and Brand Innovators have launched The Brand Marketer Academy North America Series – a multi-city learning programme that accelerates the careers of ambitious client-side marketers.

This experience is now coming to cities across North America.

Building on the success of the Brand Marketer Academy at Cannes Lions, the North America Series brings the established programme to new markets in the region. You’ll join an intensive two-day experience that combines world-class content, practical leadership development, and a powerful network of peers facing the same challenges as you.

Since launching in 2011, the Brand Marketing Academy has supported over 450 graduates worldwide – many of them now CMOs, founders and award-winning marketing leaders. The Brand Marketer Academy North America Series expands access to this proven programme while keeping its selective, high-impact approach.
