Try LinkedIn, lots of professionals there waiting to jump on the very first chance to help a newcomer.

Have you attended any events in your city? There surely is a marketing summit or something somewhere, perhalps it can be helpful for you.

One way to find such mentors is to attend networking events or conferences dedicated to marketing topics, as these often bring together key players from within the field.

Many professionals offer their services online through specialized websites and social media networks such as LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram. It's also a good idea to research organizations that specialize in providing mentorships and internships related to marketing. By doing this research ahead of time, you may be able to identify potential mentors or mentorships that you can apply for or contact directly.

Don't underestimate the importance of asking around; speaking with friends, family members, colleagues, or even former teachers can help you increase your chances of finding someone willing to mentor you.

There are a number of marketing-focused organizations that offer mentor programs. For example, the American Marketing Association (AMA) has a mentorship program connecting young and experienced marketing professionals.

Have you tried professional associations? This can be a good way to network and connect with individuals in the types of roles you’d like to grow into.

Help!!! Struggling to complete my degree. I’ve been in a teaching role at my school since the beginning of the year. I’m at nearly 90 credits of college course work complete. I’m in Texas and there aren’t many options that can get me closer to certification. Any help or advice? I don’t want to lose the role I’m in. It’s literally what I’ve been groomed to do for the past two years. (& yes I’ve been in school during that time.)

I’ve really lost my confidence in the last few years on some awful gigs! I’ve been @ this a decade+, produced jobs up to $1M, but just can’t get back on the horse. I need work, more freelance or staff. How do I approach a HOP for a producer or Jr role instead of a Sr? I’ve trained so many PA’s, I want mentorship too. A prior HOP had me almost running the Dept, they were so stressed but now I don’t want that pressure. Would it be so bad for your AP to have Sr prod skills?! Or let me Jr BA. Help!
