Our Mission

Founded in 1997, the Chicago Interactive Marketing Association (CIMA) is a dedicated group of digital and interactive marketing professionals working to provide the Chicago interactive marketing community with opportunities to network, learn, and share expertise.

In addition to providing opportunities to the professional community, CIMA is investing in Chicago’s future as a leader in technology through educational programs, grants, and mentorships. CIMA gives back to the Chicago community at large, partnering with Off the Street Club and Tutoring Chicago.

Our Culture

It’s the members that make CIMA great!

Fundamental changes in technology and culture have transformed business, and it is CIMA’s role to connect, illuminate, and partner with members to elevate the quality of marketing practiced, the image, and talent available. The goal is to advance, support and do more. This makes collaboration, generosity and goodwill the definition of what we offer.

Our Sponsors

Sponsorships help provide exposure to CIMA, and they underscore your company's commitment to the Chicago Interactive community at large.

Sponsorship ensures our ability to continue to produce great programming at convenient and exciting venues. Sponsorship includes both online and on site exposure at events for your brand and message and allows for direct interaction with all attendees. None of this would be possible without the continual support of our sponsors!
