ABOUT GMA
The Georgetown Marketing Association (GMA) is the premier student-run marketing consulting group on the Georgetown campus. Our mission is to empower aspiring future marketers by offering quality training, hands-on experiences, and networking opportunities with industry employers. Within GMA, members can participate in strategy and creative focused trainings led by esteemed faculty from the McDonough School of Business. Moreover, students can elevate their classroom knowledge by consulting for real-world clients through our Agency branch, delivering robust and impactful marketing solutions for local businesses. Additionally, we organize networking events with seasoned marketers and industry professionals to ensure our members are well-prepared for their career journeys. At GMA, we not only foster professional growth but also cultivate a community, forging lifelong connections for students from Georgetown and beyond.
Our Vision
Our vision is to be a forum in which all students can discover and explore their interests in marketing with like-minded peers and industry professionals outside of a traditional classroom setting. We strive to provide students with the opportunity to engage in marketing projects with esteemed McDonough School of Business faculty as well as real-world clients, creating a community of enthusiastic, passionate students with a vested interest in marketing.
