TikTok's Agency Accelerator Program is back for another year, promising to be bigger, better and more impactful.

Applications for media agency emerging leaders are now open, with participants given exclusive access to industry insights, opportunities to attend expert-led workshops, mentoring, valuable networking opportunities and other additional resources. 

Andrew Cambridge, Head of Agency at TikTok Australia, said the highly sought after program, now in its fourth year, has had over a hundred industry experts take part.

“Our Agency Accelerator Program has helped develop exceptional talent in Australia's media landscape. Running from June to August, participants get to take part in various industry lead initiatives, all designed to challenge conventional thinking about media.

We're proud of what we have already achieved and can't wait to welcome the latest group of innovative professionals who will shape our industry's future.”

Here's what alumni have said about their experience in the program:

Sophie Gallagher, Strategy Director, Clemenger DDBO described her experience as "one of the best career experiences I have had, and from a professional and personal development perspective it was hugely influential for me... it was just brilliant!"

"The most incredible series of workshops - it's been an absolute career highlight for me. Am still reeling at the sheer volume of planning, consideration and thoughtful touches across all the sessions," shared Greta Mewing, Partnerships Director, OMD Create.

Josh Iselin, Group Paid Media Manager, Virgin Australia (former Digital Lead, Dentsu) added, "I'm immensely thankful to the TikTok team for crafting an agenda that pushed us beyond the norms of media agency development, challenging our creativity, and amplifying our authentic selves."
