Agency Unfiltered this week comes with a twist—as we sit down with Ekin Pehlivan, Associate Professor of Marketing at the Martin V. Smith School of Business and Economics at California State University Channel Islands and Leslie Cortes, a student at Cal State Channel Islands. Ekin shares the history of Cal State’s student-led agency—how it started, and why. We dig into the agency's go-to-market, the types of businesses they serve, the services they offer, team structure, process development, and more.
