We run many programs throughout the year aimed to foster professional development and community giving among talented marketers in the Portland area.

Community Outreach
Our Community Outreach Program  pairs marketing experts with non-profits. Teams of marketing strategists, graphic designers, PR experts, market researchers, advertising execs, and others donate their marketing talent to help make a positive impact in our local community.

With this program marketers have the unique opportunity to:
-      Expand your mentoring and professional network while enhancing your portfolio
-      Develop your craft and explore your marketing potential
-      Give back to your community
