Marketing Diversity Forum

May 20-21, 2018
(Sunday & Monday)

Philadelphia, PA

Application is now closed.


The JumpStart Model is simple. Step 1: Bring together firms that are willing to educate, empower, and employ the next generation of future business leaders; in an environment that is safe and non-threatening. Step 2: Attract the brightest minds from the top academic institutions across the country and provide the opportunity to introduce them to careers in financial services and consulting.

We recognize both the world of finance and consulting are extremely challenging career options to pursue and have decided to better prepare undergraduate students just like we've done with MBA students over the years. Since 2004, MBA JumpStart has directly hosted over 900 diversity MBA candidates entering top business schools. As a result of our model, we have helped hundreds of talented candidates receive job offers and launch very successful careers. Leveraging this approach, MBA JumpStart has created a similar experience focused on Brand Management and Marketing.

This Brand Management and Marketing Forum is an intensive program that educates participants on both the brand management and marketing career opportunities. Selected students from top-tier MBA programs attend industry-specific workshops, are introduced to case studies, and are provided with endless opportunities for networking with corporate partner representatives and other incoming MBA students prior to matriculation.

Be sure to complete your application today, as demand for participation will be high. Below you will find a list of schools that have had representation at the Forum. You are not restricted from applying if your school is not listed below. We look forward to receiving your application and working with you to LAUNCH YOUR CAREER.

Forum Corporate Partners are industry leaders who have demonstrated a commitment to diversity recruiting and developing talent. The Diversity Forum hosts selected incoming women and minority students attending top-tier MBA programs.
