An Ad 2 membership includes a membership of National Ad 2 (www.ad2.org), Ad Club Seattle (www.adclubseattle.com) and the American Advertising Federation (www.aaf.org). Below you will find some important member benefit information!

Networking
"Who you know" is vital in any market. The professionals you meet through Ad 2 come from every niche of the advertising world - not just agencies and clients. As a member, you receive discounts on all Ad 2/SAF sponsored events.

Socials
Networking isn't all business. Ad 2 Seattle also hosts social events where you can just kick back with your peers, catch up on the latest, share job leads, and so on.

Hands-On Experience
The best opportunities come from serving on one of our committees. Help network by recruiting members, coordinate fundraising events, work on a public service campaign for a local non-profit, and more!

Committees
Committees are a great opportunity to get your work produced and make industry contacts. The skills you learn in Ad 2 transfer to any work environment and look fantastic on your resume.

Creative Pool
If you're looking to build your portfolio with some truly creative work (the kind not stifled by client hesitation), Ad 2 can offer you the opportunity to work on projects and gain exposure.

Leadership Skills
Grow to even greater heights as part of the Ad 2 Seattle Board of Directors. Elected roles of President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and appointed Chair members: Public Service, Membership, Fundraising, Communications, Socials and more, can boost your personal and professional growth.

Community Involvement
The most popular and visible undertaking of Ad 2 Seattle is the annual Public Service campaign. Time and talent are volunteered to develop a full-scale, multi-media campaign for a worthy non-profit organization in Seattle. This means that experience can be gained in all levels of advertising: media buying, promotions, creative direction, graphic design, public relations, sales and marketing. Learn about print, television, radio, web, specialty advertising and more. Contact us for more information.

District and National Conference Meetings
Members of local AAF affiliates are eligible to attend District and National Conferences at a discounted rate. See your local club Executive Committee for details.
