AMA Cincinnati Agency

Our mission is to unite marketing talent with local nonprofits and startups through collaborative marketing projects that grow our economy and build community resilience.

AMA Cincinnati Agency pairs teams of volunteers with selected nonprofits or startups in the Greater Cincinnati area for 6-month pro bono marketing projects.

This program aims to give volunteers the opportunity to grow their professional skill set while giving back to the community. In return, our nonprofit and startup communities have a chance to leverage local marketing talent, develop richer volunteer and donor bases, and evolve their marketing strategies.

Applications for Volunteers and for Non-Profits & Startups are now being accepted. Please apply by November 15th.
