Expressed interest in becoming a mentor
Have found the program to be effective
and the 2025 Program was sponsored by Think Shift
A fully custom-branded mentoring experience from start to finish
CAMA wanted to create a structured mentorship program for professionals in Canada’s agri-food marketing sector.
Early-career professionals needed access to trusted guidance, while experienced leaders wanted a meaningful way to give back and strengthen connection across the industry
Pollinate partnered with CAMA to launch a national mentorship program with a custom intake, Knowledge Transfer Index assessment, and strategic mentor matching.
Participants were matched around key areas such as marketing strategy, communications, branding, and sales, then supported through a virtual launch session, eLearning resources, and post-program feedback.
The program helped CAMA create a more structured and valuable mentorship experience for Canada’s agri-food marketing community.
Participants built meaningful relationships across the sector, while mentees gained career clarity and developed skills in areas such as marketing strategy, communications, branding, and sales. Mentors also strengthened their leadership and coaching abilities through active listening and guided support.
The program gave CAMA an organized and engaging way to connect members across career stages, while gathering insights to improve future program iterations.
“Working with the team at Pollinate was a fantastic experience. Their platform provided the structure and support we needed to elevate CAMA’s Mentorship Program and deliver real value to our members. It was a smart investment – one that allowed us to offer a more organized, engaging, and impactful program for both mentors and mentees.”
