Center for Marketing and Consumer Insights
Put yourself onto a highly respected, results-driven marketing research and consulting team, conducting research in the field, listening to focus groups on location, and analyzing data in the lab, and do it while you're a student.
The Center for Marketing and Consumer Insights put its student consultants right in the middle of the action — designing campaigns, project managing, and presenting creative concepts to clients.
For example six students helped test a major outdoor advertising campaign for healthcare provider, The Corvallis Clinic, and creative agency, Funk/Levis & Associates. Three teams of students researched into a new brand identity for The Corvallis Club, one of the oldest membership-based social clubs in Oregon. And several students even got to contribute to OSU's brand refinement and update, one of a number of projects that the university has turned to the Center for Marketing and Consumer Insights for expert strategy.
