BUMK COMMITTEE INFO
Welcome to the BUMK committee info page! We’re so glad to see you here, and hope to give you some valuable insight on our club.
To kick us off, let’s talk about how BUMK operates. We are Boston University’s premier cross-functional marketing club, where we value giving our members industry experience with the flexibility that every student needs. Members of BUMK have the opportunity to attend regularly scheduled workshops, activities, and guest speaker events while functioning in one of our four committees.
Now, let’s dive into each of our committees!
Social Media Committee:
The social team is where you will discover content creation and social strategy across all media platforms. This team runs socials for our club and is provided the opportunity to create content for real clients. You’ll learn foundational design skills, digital marketing strategies, and much more. Whether you’re a content creation pro or just starting out, BUMK has a spot for you.

Case Competition Committee:
Each semester, this team is presented with an exciting new case where they are given the opportunity to analyze and discover valuable solutions. Members work thoughtfully in a collaborative environment to present their findings to a panel of judges and fellow BUMK members. Teams compete for first prize with the opportunity to further their experience by entering a national case competition.

Content Committee:
The content team prides itself on creating a variety of blog posts that cover the marketing world from all angles. From journalists to copywriters to graphic designers, we have it all. You’ll learn the fundamentals of business and opinion writing as your work gets published and shared within our POV BOOK, a magazine that is designed and published by our members each semester.

Accounts Committee:
Our accounts team is our most immersive group, where members will be given the opportunity to gain industry knowledge while working with real clients. Each semester BUMK secures two to three local clients for our teams to work with, where members will collaborate to provide data-driven and unique marketing campaigns. Similar to an internship, we provide students the ability to gain professional experience with the flexibility needed to accommodate their academic schedules.

Congrats! You have officially reached the end of this page, and hopefully we were able to spark your interest in one of our four committees. To wrap this up, we’ve answered a few FAQ’s below!
What if I don’t have time to join a committee? Can I still be a member of BUMK?
YES! You can absolutely be a general member of BUMK without being part of one of our four committees. You’ll still have the same access to events, resources, and workshops - and we hope you’ll join a committee when the time is right for you!
How much time do I have to commit to join a committee? Can I be in more than one?
Members are welcome to join more than one committee, however it should be noted that time commitments for each committee varies. For teams such as accounts or case competition, prepare to meet with your team at least once a week if not more - we don’t recommend doubling up on committees if you choose to partake in either of these teams. As for social or content, we’ve found that these committees allow much more room for flexibility and time commitments are decided on a case by case basis.
Will I gain experience that I can put on my resume or showcase to potential employers?
YES! Regardless of what committee you’re in or even if you’re a general member, BUMK strives to provide opportunities you’ll value. Through our committees you could gain client / research experience, or even portfolio content! For our general members, you’ll be well equipped with new skills and connections made through our workshops and networking events.
