Our Story
A walk down memory lane
Dheeraj, also known as DJ, (Co-Founder #1) hosted a workshop on "The Theory of Graphic Design" - Federica (Co-Founder #2) happened to be attending that workshop that day.
Although DJ and Federica had known each other for 3 years, soon they started chatting more about marketing. Federica suggested that DJ start a course around the topic - which led to the founding of the Marketing Crash Course at LifeVersity
DJ and Federica are major marketing & advertising nerds. Since DJ was sending the same ads to 6 people over WhatsApp - he decided to bring all these marketing nerds together over a WhatsApp group
DJ and Federica figured that there must be more marketing nerds out there. They started promoting the group chat. In 10 days, 160+ students joined the group chat
This month was intense. With over 160+ members in the group chat, there was no community for creatives that existed on campus yet. People started asking for events, resources, and so much more
To meet these growing demands, the first ever board was recruited.
In September 2020, we started hosting our first events in collaboration with other associations.
Thanks to the Marketing Crash Course, we signed our first partnership with LifeVersity.
Since September 2020, we've been experimenting with various ideas, events and collaborations to deliver the most value for our audience & community
And we've been kicking ass ever since
