The Center for Branding at Pitt Business is actively seeking corporate partners who are aiming to enhance their brand and participate in branding education. We provide cutting-edge research insights to partners, develop a talent pool of certified marketing professionals, and build deep connections within the marketing industry.
By partnering with us, you will be able to update and certify your skills needed to stay current for today’s marketers by participating in our branding workshops and symposiums. You will be exposed to the latest research in the areas of branding and digital topics. You will be introduced to the best and brightest marketing talent – undergraduate and graduate – at the University of Pittsburgh. Additionally, you can participate in a sponsored project course to solve a current marketing problem or need with a talented Pitt Business student team led by a current faculty member.
At this time, three levels of partnership are offered with the Center for Branding: Bronze, Silver, and Gold.
A fourth offering is an independent study course offered at the graduate level. The cost of this offering is to be determined.
- An independent study is a company-sponsored/initiated experience planned to permit students to pursue and solve a marketing branding opportunity under the guidance of a faculty preceptor.
- This is a credit course for students.
- Students will be hand selected to recognize the needs of the company sponsor.
- Deliverables are scoped within a semester; however, independent study courses can span multiple semesters.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
Today, I seek out classes and opportunities (like the Super Analytics Challenge) to learn and grow in new areas. I feel empowered and proud in a way I wouldn’t have thought possible a few years ago.
The main reason to choose Katz was because it offers a wide variety of courses. Coming from a different country (Mumbai, India) and education system, I was a little anxious, but the staff, faculty and students have been extremely welcoming and kind.
