The RECOM Marketing Talent Fellowship (RMTF) is now accepting applications for its pioneer cohort. Deadline: Thursday, 23 July 2026.
Launched in March 2026, the RMTF is RECOM’s most intentional investment yet in the future of marketing practice in Ghana, a fully funded pathway for the country’s top graduating marketing talent to move from academic excellence into professional, Chartered leadership.
ABOUT THE FELLOWSHIP
Every year, Ghana’s universities graduate exceptional marketing students. Yet many face the same challenge: no structured pathway from graduation into professional practice. Too often, talented graduates navigate that transition alone, without mentorship, industry exposure, or direction.
The RMTF exists to close that gap. It is not simply a reward for academic achievement. It is a deliberate investment in the people who will shape organisations, influence markets, and raise the standard of marketing practice across Ghana and Africa.
As CIMG CEO Mr. Kwabena Agyekum put it at launch, the Fellowship “helps bridge a critical gap between education and industry,” with a focus on “ethics, mentorship, and real-world application” that is essential to shaping the next generation of Chartered Marketers.
WHO SHOULD APPLY
The Fellowship is open to top graduating students in Marketing or a closely related discipline. Selection is based on four criteria:
- Academic performance
- Leadership potential
- Demonstrated interest in marketing
- Commitment to purpose-led, ethical practice
WHAT THE FELLOWSHIP OFFERS
RMTF Fellows receive a fully funded professional development pathway that combines academic progression with real practice:
