Hi! I'm leading the Marketing Bootcamp this year and I'd love to talk with anyone thinking about applying. Reach out anytime.
katherine.cai@mail.hsa.netNo matter your experience with marketing, this bootcamp is built to change how you think about it. Here's what the three days look like.
01
Brand builders and creative leads on how they grew audiences from zero and turned ideas into growth.
02
Case studies from student-run ventures on how they build, brand, and scale under real constraints.
03
The constraint that forces you to learn what actually makes a campaign work, not just what looks good.
04
Market research, branding, product marketing, and advertising, across three days of sessions.
05
Work with a small team to design one for a real business case, from first idea to finished pitch.
06
Present and defend your campaign to a panel of marketers and operators on the final day.
You don't need a portfolio, a marketing background, or a finished idea. You just need to be curious about how brands get built.
Three days is short. The point is to walk out with things you keep.
Prizes run the length of the bootcamp. Show up, contribute, and keep pushing your campaign forward, and you'll earn rewards well before the final day.
Three days, August 5 to 7, 1 to 3 PM EST daily. Speakers for 2026 are being confirmed.

Two hours a day across three days, August 5 to 7, from 1 to 3 PM EST. You'll work on your own campaign between sessions.
Yes. Every session, panel, and the campaign competition run online, so you can join from anywhere before you move to campus.
We're happy to provide this opportunity free of charge. Just fill out the application and we'll handle the rest.
Neither. Teams form during the bootcamp, and you'll meet the people you build with on day one.
Tell us on the application. We'd rather know in advance than have you miss the campaign competition.
