Who runs this place?

Dr. Mike Rich, professor of marketing at SMSU serves as SMAC's executive director. The firm employs junior- and senior-level students, who have completed the marketing research class. Most of the students are employed as account executives, but the firm also employs a graphic design account executive, an administrative assistant, a business manager, and a managing director. While the true nature of the center is to complete marketing research projects, an increasing number of projects include not only marketing research, but graphic design elements.
