About SMA

The Student Marketing Association is an AS sponsored organization that allows students to continue their education past the normal classroom experience. We at SMA live by THREE key points:

1.) Experience: We work with local businesses giving members the opportunity to get hands on marketing experience in field, digital, print, and social aspects. This allows members to build their resume & portfolios with real life marketing related projects.

 

2.) Speakers: SMA hosts professional speakers all throughout the year. Members get to learn from outside marketing professionals about their personal work experiences in the real world, and also meet and talk with marketing representatives. Past speakers have included CEO's of social media companys, Mariners baseball Marketing, Microsoft, and multiple Marketing directors from Seattle based businesses. We at SMA are open to anything, have an idea for a speaker? Let us know!.

 

3.) Networking: We at SMA push to provide our members with the greatest networking opportunities available. From real time professionals to the surrounding club members and student body, the networking opportunities are endless.
