Advocacy-based marketing training and consulting company, Mansmith and Fielders Inc., has bestowed a 5-year P33-million scholarship grant that aims to train 4,000 marketing professors and teachers across the Philippines. By enhancing their skills and knowledge through marketing training courses, these educators will be better equipped to deliver relevant, up-to-date, and practical marketing education to their students. The ripple effect of this initiative is expected to reach an estimated 10 million students in the Philippines, shaping their understanding of marketing and empowering them with the necessary skills for future success.
For over a quarter of a century, Mansmith and Fielders Inc. has been providing free training to marketing educators, equipping them with the latest knowledge and strategies in the ever-evolving field of marketing.

This initiative will benefit approximately one million micro, small, and medium-scale business owners, equipping them with the 11 building blocks of the Mansmith Business Model Map tool. The Mansmith Business Model Map has been proven to help many businesses adapt and thrive amidst challenges and uncertainties.
