TikTok Accelerator returns for 2025, entries now open

Applications have opened for TikTok’s fourth annual Agency Accelerator Program, with the platform calling on media agency leaders to take part in its flagship talent development initiative.

Running from June to August 2025, the program offers emerging leaders from across Australia’s media industry access to workshops, mentoring, and exclusive networking events designed to challenge conventional thinking.

Since launching in 2021, the program has hosted over 100 participants.

Andrew Cambridge, Head of Agency at TikTok Australia, said “Our Agency Accelerator Program has helped develop exceptional talent in Australia's media landscape... We can’t wait to welcome the latest group of innovative professionals who will shape our industry’s future.”

The program is fully funded and open to media agency professionals with more than eight years of experience. Applications close Friday, 9 May, with successful applicants announced on 12 May and sessions beginning 23 June.

Past participants have described the program as “hugely influential,” “a career highlight,” and “an agenda that pushed us beyond the norms of media agency development.”
