Who is the Media Excellence Certificate suitable for?

This two-day course is tailored for senior professionals with seven to 10+ years of experience or at least one year leading media agency relationships. It is CPD-accredited for 14 hours of learning and development.

How will it be delivered?

Delivered by senior practitioners from The Aperto Partnership, with experience in client-side and media agency roles, and guest speakers from media agencies. The course will be a combination of trainer-led learning and group discussion. Participants will be encouraged to bring their own perspectives to share with the wider group and to connect on a longer-term to build a network of support and advice.

What is the cost of participating?

For ISBA members the price per person is £1,500 plus VAT and for non-members the price per person is £1,750 plus VAT.

How will participants be evaluated?

During the course, attendees will be asked to capture learning outcomes, identifying new learnings and any gaps in knowledge that have been filled, and reflecting on what they can do differently moving forward. 

At the end of the training course, attendees will create an action plan of specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound objectives, of what they will do differently back within their organisations. They will be encouraged to agree the action plans with their line-managers and team and the value that will add to their companies.
