Our ambassadors programme: Creating career pathways for underrepresented talent.
Every year, the No Turning Back Ambassador Programme connects young people from diverse backgrounds with exciting careers in marketing, communications, PR and sports marketing.
Our ambassadors – professionals, 1 – 5 years into their careers – visit schools, colleges, and universities across the UK to share their stories, inspire confidence, and show what’s possible.
We focus on reaching students who may not have access to industry networks – 75% state school educated, 75% Black, Asian and minority ethnic, 40% first-generation university students, and 35% on free school meals. Often these underrepresented groups are not fully aware of the opportunities, networks or pathway into the industry and we’d like to change that.
Become a No Turning Back Ambassador.
Join our ambassadors, all rising stars and real role models. They shine a light on success stories from across marketing and communications – and help to change perceptions of who belongs in the industry.
You will receive:
Speaking opportunities to grow your confidence
Access to our mentoring and networking community
Improved leadership skills and visibility across our LinkedIn and media channels
The chance to inspire others while developing your own career
If you’re passionate about inclusion and want to make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
Why inclusion and retention matter.
The marketing industry is facing a talent challenge – retention is low, and diversity drops sharply at senior levels. These figures highlight why action is needed now.
