A folder containing rows of paper matches. With branding wrapping the exterior and matches not yet sparked within, the matchbook proves that artistry and functionality can and should coexist.

ADVERTISING THAT IGNITES

In 2017, Matchbook Marketing was founded out of a desire to provide college students with real-life agency work. Originally named “Relevant Youth,” our organization quickly rose to prominence within our community, taking on local businesses as clients. 

 

Today, we have 7 clients all across Missouri and the Midwest and are home to more than 100 student creatives. As a University of Missouri-affiliated organization, we aim to provide our members with hands-on experience that works in tandem with their classroom experience to set new passions ablaze. 

 

At Matchbook, creativity spreads like wildfire. We push our students to seek new solutions to age-old problems, explore different disciplines and step outside of the box (or, in this case, book). This not only sets our members up for success after tossing that graduation hat, but it provides our clients with fresh ideas, unbridled imagination and a unique look into Gen Z culture.

  • How much does Matchbook charge clients for its services?
    Matchbook Marketing Agency is a 100% pro-bono marketing agency. In other words, we don’t charge clients a penny!
  • I have a question about Matchbook that isn’t listed here. Who can I reach out to?
    No problem! Feel free to send your question to hello@matchbookmarketing.com
  • Do I have to be in a certain major to join?
    No! Matchbook is open to MU students of all grade levels, majors, backgrounds and passions.
  • I’m a potential client. How can I learn more?
    We’re glad to hear you’re interested in working with us! You can learn more about the client experience and get in touch with us on our "clients" page.
  • Do you only serve clients in the Columbia, Missouri area?
    Nope! We are open to clients all around the country. In fact, we currently work for clients based out of Columbia, MO, Kansas City, St. Louis and Chicago.
  • What if I want to get involved but don’t have a ton of experience?
    Matchbook is a place for learning. That's why we don't expect new members to have much – or any – experience. Throughout the application process, we focus on students' interests, passions and personalities, rather than their resume.
  • I’m a student. How can I get involved?
    We bring on new team members every semester, so there are plenty of opportunities to get involved. Applications for the spring semester open in December and applications for the fall semester open in May, and applications are about for about a month. You can apply under the "students" page!
