Actlvltles and Impact Introductlon The Markeiing Academy Foundation exists to enable career starts in the marketin8 industries for young people la8ed from 18 to 301 from d158dvtsged ba¢kgrouDds. The tnarketing industry offersa Tang¢ of inleresting jobs and provides people with satisfying. long-ierni careers.

Since 2001 the Advcni51TL8 Association. in parn¢r5hip with the IPA (the irdde body representing Creative and media agencies) and ISBA (the trade body represeniinA advertisers) have conducted a UK wde survey amonA people woting in advertising and m£rkeiin&. The All In surv¢y measures the demogrdphic profile of the workforcc. Th¢ 2025 $tsrvey mgals that only IV/• of the rnarkcting and advcrtising workf¢)rce come from a workiftg-¢l&%s backgmund. despite being A/¢ of the population. This finding is reinforced by the finding that 180/0 of the peopl¢ workin8 in the industy went to fee paying privale s¢h(Kils which is double the incidence in the population. Sadly. th¢ perttnlages cited above have remained constant since the sur¥ey launched tn 2021. And the problem isn't confined io working class people being under-represented. Th¢re is a persistenl clas5-bas¢d pay gap. A Marketing Week Survey. eonducted in lat¢ 2024 and publLsh¢d it5 March 2V25. showed that marketers from working-class back2rounds are beirt2 paid on average 15.30/0 les5 than their middle- and upper-class peers. This pay 8ap h&$ remained at this level for several years. The marketing indusuy has been the preserve of the middle ¢lasscs for too long. and it is not changing fast enough. The Marketing A¢ad¢my Foundattron is dedi¢ed io helping talenied. bright young p¢opl¢ from rnore poorly resourced backgrounds gain that first vital job opportunity in the industry znd thrive thereafter. Historieally. we have done this by securit]g a limited number of salari¢d marketingroles at leadin8 companies for youjig p¢opl¢ froni low-iJi¥oiii¢ barkgrowjds.
