Membership

Why Join the Northwest Social Marketing Association?

Build relationships with local social marketing practitioners. As a member, you’ll be able to stay in touch with other local social marketers and expand your knowledge. Interacting and networking with other professionals is key to staying on top of social marketing trends. Share project ideas, successes, lessons learned, and opportunities with other social marketing practitioners.
Join a community of practice and support network for social marketing in the northwestern United States and western Canada. Members form bonds that help develop best practices, strengthen relationships, and advance market techniques for social marketers across the region.
Provide you the skills and knowledge to make change in your area of work and get a better ROI for your efforts.
Access to recordings of previous social marketing forums. Our quarterly forums provide opportunities to brainstorm ideas, seek opinions, and troubleshoot program challenges with fellow social marketers and social scientists. Beyond attending the forums, whether it be in-person or virtually through our webinar feature, PNSMA members now have exclusive access to recordings of previous forums.
Discount pricing for tickets to the annual SPARKS conference.
Membership to two other social marketing associations: the International Social Marketing Association (iSMA), a $60 value, and the Social Marketing Association of North America (SMANA), a $55 value. That means your membership payment to the Northwest Social Marketing Association includes free membership to two other social marketing organizations (a $115 value). (You must join the Northwest Social Marketing Association (and have paid for your membership) by February 15th in any calendar year to be awarded the free iSMA and SMANA memberships for that same year.)
As part of membership in SMANA you will receive digital access to The Social Marketing Quarterly Journal. Log into the member portal of SMANA to access the link located on SMANA's member benefits page.

Membership Types

We offer individual, student, and organizational memberships.

Student Memberships

If you apply for a student membership, please use your student email address.

Organizational Membership

Organizational memberships are offered at three levels (large, medium and small).

Practitioners learn faster, become more effective agents of change, and support cross-team and cross-department interdependencies when groups of people learn in cohorts. An organizational membership connects people across your team with the Northwest Social Marketing Association resources and community.

Once the organizational membership had been paid for, the administrator will be able to add members.

If you are currently an individual member and want to renew yourself (and others in your organization) as part of an organizational membership, please reach out to us so we can make that happen. Email us at [email protected].
