Due to the huge success of our Outreach programme about careers in marketing, PR and sports marketing to schools and colleges across the UK we have spaces in the team for more Ambassadors with up to 6 years work experience.

If your experience doesn’t quite fit, we would still like to hear from you.

Our young Ambassador team are all role models and rising stars. They have each made a personal commitment to help with targeted messaging to young people from diverse backgrounds about careers in our sector.

A word from 3 of our Ambassadors

“My motivation to become an Ambassador is to support increasing diversity in sports marketing”

“I believe that the way I can make a difference in my industry is by being as visible as possible. To be frank, when I started in PR I didn’t see many black women in leadership roles that I felt like I could reach out to for career advice or mentorship. I am pleased to be an ambassador for No Turning Back 2020 at this particularly exciting time to open up the industry to more underrepresented groups.”

“I have become an ambassador for the NoTurningBack programme as I think the programme will help to encourage the recruitment of more diversity and under-represented groups into marketing roles. The biggest challenge in my career was just getting an interview and a job. A 2019 study conducted by the TUC found that Black graduates had to apply to 80% more jobs than their white counterparts before receiving any positive reaction from a company. These barriers can be removed by having a diverse talent team.”
