Belmark Associates is a student-managed market research organization formed in 1985 by three students with an interest in market research and an entrepreneurial spirit. Belmark works with local businesses, Alumni, and Beloit College on projects that include finance, demographic analysis, education, sports, health care, et cetera. Belmark Associates is led by a senior manager whose duty it is to lead the team in finding and executing projects. It is the goal of the organization to provide its members with a valuable, applicable skill set that will aid them after college.

Due to the wide range of fields our service covers and the depth that our research goes into, we work closely with the faculty members of Beloit College Department of Economics. The Allen-Bradley Professor of Economics, Jeff Adams, serves as our faculty advisor.

Since the founding of Belmark Associates, its senior managers have consistently landed premier entry-level positions upon graduation, followed by continuing success as managers and entrepreneurs. Each year the graduating senior managers select their successors from those students who have been involved with Belmark as interviewers, data entry personnel or specific project managers.

Belmark clients have included: First National Bank of Beloit, M&I Bank of Beloit, Private Industry Council of Rock County, University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics, City of Beloit, Beloit Convention and Visitors Bureau, Greater Beloit Chamber of Commerce, Beloit Economic Development Corporation, Fannie May Candy Company, several Beloit area automobile dealers, and Beloit College.
