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.

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry. I have been applying internally for a year now and I am wondering if this is normal or if my company is just slow? I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up? How many tries did it take?

Curious how other marketing teams like to share resources internally.

I'd also like to be able to give specific users access to specific things (ie I don't want everyone to have the logo vector).

Any suggestions or thoughts? Know any software for this? My instinct is just to build a website or page with logins, but open to options!
