Mentoring
Marketing Mentoring for Senior Marketing Hires
Strategic mentoring for your head of marketing or senior marketing hire. Not a course. A sustained partnership that builds real capability.
Who it's for
Your head of marketing. Your senior marketing hire. The person you're counting on to take ownership of marketing and make it work. They have the tactical skills but need help developing the strategic thinking, the confidence, and the frameworks to operate at the next level.
This isn't founder mentoring. Tom works directly with your marketing person, developing their capability so both the individual and the firm benefit. They grow. Your marketing gets sharper. And they stay engaged because they can see a path forward.
What's included
Monthly Mentoring Sessions
One-hour sessions focused on strategic challenges, career development, and building the skills that matter at the next level.
Strategy Coaching
Working through real strategic problems together. Not teaching theory, but applying frameworks to the actual challenges they're facing.
Async Support
Between sessions, a direct line for questions and challenges that come up in the day-to-day. No waiting until the next call.
Frameworks and Tools
Access to the same strategic frameworks, templates, and playbooks used across all Highland Edge programmes.
Quarterly Founder Check-ins
Progress reviews with the founder or business leader to ensure the mentoring is aligned with firm priorities.
Development Plan
A structured development roadmap for the mentee, with clear milestones and measurable progress indicators.
Investment
Mentoring starts at £750 per month. Engagements typically run for 6-12 months, though some clients choose to continue on an ongoing basis.
The cost of developing your best marketing person is a fraction of replacing them. And the firm gets stronger marketing leadership either way.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this for the founder or for their marketing hire?
- The marketing hire. This programme is designed for the person running your marketing day-to-day. Tom mentors them directly, developing their strategic capability so they can make better decisions, work more independently, and deliver stronger results.
- What experience level does the mentee need?
- Typically a head of marketing or senior marketing manager with at least 3-5 years of experience. Someone who has the tactical skills but needs help developing their strategic thinking and leadership capability.
- How does the founder stay involved?
- Quarterly check-ins with both the mentee and the founder (or business leader) ensure alignment. Beyond that, the relationship is between Tom and the mentee. The founder sees the results in improved output and decision-making.
- What if the mentee leaves?
- It happens. But investing in your people is the best retention tool there is. If they do move on, you will have built a stronger marketing function in the process, and the next hire walks into a better-defined role.
