about us (old)

our mission is built upon three pillars

Home to over 300 members, the UBC Marketing Association is one of the largest clubs and only marketing club at UBC. As the CUS Top Large Club (17', 18', 20', 22') along with Conference of the Year (20'), UBCMA strives to continue providing students the highest quality club experience through its three core pillars: Educate, Engage, and Execute. With our high-stakes case competitions, company fairs, mentorship programs, and action-packed networking conferences, UBCMA creates meaningful connections for students to the marketing industry—for the chance to become the next big marketer.

Educate: provide practical, real-world learning to marketing and instill inspiration in students to pursue marketing

Engage: facilitate the connection between students and industry professionals to support student career advancement.

Execute: create opportunities for students to fully apply their marketing skills and knowledge at various levels
