⇒ There's no formula for being in GMA! In general, we look for aspiring marketers who can really come forward with their POV and tackle business problems with a creative-driven strategy.
I have no experience in marketing, is that okay?
⇒ Totally! Most of our members came in with limited experience in marketing. We have a robust training curriculum that can help get you onboarded!
What is the benefit of being an Applied Member?
⇒ Applied Members can serve on a particular GMA Team. They can serve on a client project as a Creative or Strategist or join the Brand Management or Professional Development Committees. Applied members can also become leaders in the organization.

How can I go from being a General Member to an Applied Member?
