About TMLA.

Built by marketers, for marketers.

At TMLA, we believe marketing has the power to create real, lasting change.

That’s why we’re here – to give ambitious marketers the skills, confidence, and insight to make a meaningful impact and become the professionals they aspire to be.

Whether you’re just starting out, moving up the ladder, or leading a team, our mission is simple: to make high-quality, flexible, and practical marketing education accessible, supportive, and career-defining.

Flexible Studying

We've walked in your shoes.

TMLA is owned by Claire MacDonald and Anna Hutton – two seasoned marketers who’ve built their careers from the ground up. They know the pressure of deadlines, the juggle of study and work, and the feeling of wanting more from your career but not knowing exactly how to get there.

That’s why TMLA isn’t just another study centre – it’s a community powered by real-world marketing expertise. Claire and Anna also run MacMartin, an award-winning behaviour change agency working with purpose-led organisations across the UK. From national charities to ambitious local brands, they are in the thick of it every day – creating campaigns, building strategies, and delivering results.

That connection means every TMLA course stays rooted in current industry practice. You won’t just learn theory – you’ll gain up-to-date tactics, insider insight, and practical tools you can apply straight away. It’s marketing education shaped by those who live and breathe it – and who genuinely care about helping you grow.
