Who We Are

The Pacific Northwest Social Marketing Association (PNSMA) is an organization made up of members of the social marketing community across the Pacific Northwest. This community includes communicators, policy staff, strategists, budget managers and anyone involved in promoting strategies that support individual and community well-being.  Its purpose is to:

  • Promote the general advancement of the practice and industry of social marketing
  • Advance the interests of social marketing professionals
  • Facilitate training, education and research
  • Provide a forum for exchange of information related to the practice
  • Promote public understanding and education about social marketing.

Benefits of Membership

Benefits of becoming a member of PNSMA include:

  • Access to quarterly social marketing forums. Members join in forums every quarter to share experiences and lessons and engage in conversation with other professionals in person. The quarterly forums provide opportunities to brainstorm ideas, seek opinions, and troubleshoot program challenges with experts at no charge.
  • Build relationships with local social marketing experts. As a member of PNSMA, 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 Pacific Northwest. The Pacific Northwest is a unique place, and its social marketers are no different. By joining PNSMA, members form stronger bonds that help develop best practices, strengthen relationships, and advance market techniques for social marketers across the region.
  • Discount pricing for tickets to the annual SPARKS conference
  • International Social Marketing Association (iSMA) and Social Marketing Association of North America (SMANA) annual memberships -- free with your membership to PNSMA (PLEASE NOTE: You must join PNSMA by February 15th in any calendar year to be awarded the iSMA and SMANA memberships for that same calendar year.)
