Assisterhood, the leading APAC mentorship program for underrepresented people in advertising, marketing, media, creative, film, tech, strategy, and business, has extended its 2026 application deadline to Wednesday, 15 April.
Born in 2018 in Brisbane, the volunteer-run initiative Assisterhood provides mentoring, education, and experience to 320+ mentees who identify as underrepresented, across Australia and Aotearoa, the US, and now Singapore.
“Assisterhood is proud to have secured almost 100 of the industry’s senior leaders and entrepreneurs across marketing, film, client services, design, business, creative, tech, production, research, recruitment, strategy, media, and more. Each will volunteer their time across six months with their chosen mentee,” said the organization.
Successful mentees receive one-to-one mentoring throughout the year, including in-person or online events and workshops, plus access to the Assisterhood alumni community, where roles and recommendations are regularly shared.
