We are offering specific mentoring support for a wide range of disciplines such as New Business, Account Management, Communications Planning, CPD, as well as help with IPA Effectiveness Awards and Accreditation.
The IPA New Business Group runs two LinkedIn groups: the IPA New Business Network and the IPA Client Relationship Network. If you are looking for a mentor from either discipline please get in touch with them via the LinkedIn group or contact joyce@ipa.co.uk.
Our Effectiveness Awards Mentors (EAMs) are experienced consultants, former Effectiveness Awards judges and prize-winning authors. You can receive up to five hours per paper and it is free to members.
Get advice on how to take the next steps in proving your agency’s CPD contributes to its business goals by submitting for IPA CPD Gold Accreditation. And if you do decide to go for Gold our CPD Adviser Gwyn March (gwyn@ipa.co.uk) can give you four hours free mentoring and advice for example across two full drafts. We also run regular how to get Gold workshops.
The Advanced Certificate in Communications Planning gives you an in-depth, high-level and end-to-end understanding of communications strategy planning with expert practitioner insight. On request, each delegate is matched with another from a different agency to share concerns and ideas.
20 brand leaders of tomorrow will be accepted on to the IPA Excellence Diploma, a qualification made up of virtual and face-to-face classrooms: reading, debate, imaginative coursework and presentations. Candidates are matched with a mentor from the industry, who they can use as a sounding board for their ideas and assessments throughout the qualification.
