Drexel Marketing Association held its monthly General Body Meeting last night, Tuesday March 2. At the meeting Brian Krick, Search Engine Marketing for Razorfish gave a very informing presentation about search engine marketing. We had a good turnout with 30 guests and over half were first time DMA members. Keep an eye out for our next General Body meeting in April.

After our General body meeting we held our weekly executive board meeting, and here is a small recap of the discussion. On Sunday March 7, the DMA will be manning a table for Accepted Students Day. Accepted students can come by and speak with DMA representatives to learn more about our organization. That is it for this recap, be sure to follow our twitter, check our Facebook group, and Lebow ticker for upcoming event details and news.

Branding has become a hot topic in the marketing and communications world. But, do we really know everything that the word “brand” means?

This presentation will reveal the different parts of a brand, what brand identity means, and how to build a strong brand.

Christine Sheller, the Creative Director for Susquehanna International Group will present the session.

You will get CEO credit for attending this event and it will be a great way to learn about brand identity from a professional.

This event is supported by The Department of Culture and Communication, The Creating Excellent Organizations Program, and The Drexel Marketing Association.

Professor Jodi Cataline will be discussing credit cards, debt, credit scores, and the new federal regulations for credit cards.  This workshop will give you a better sense of if you have a “DEAL” or “No DEAL” for your different financing options.

This event is a MUST attend for anyone who uses credit cards.

**Door prizes will be giving out to selected attendees.**

On Wednesday February 24, the Drexel marketing Association held its first ever Professional networking Event. The event gave students the opportunity to mix and mingle with professionals from the top marketing and media companies in Philadelphia.

The event was a huge success. We had 40 Drexel Students and marketing professionals attend the event. The event was such a success, that we are going to make this an annual affair with the DMA, and possibly, twice a year for students just starting out on Co-op.

Be sure to keep up with Drexel Marketing Association via Lebow Ticker, The Drexel marketing Association’s Facebook pages, and our DMA Blog. Stay tuned for pics from the event to be uploaded soon.
