Ad 2 Austin

Ad 2 Austin is a not-for-profit organization for young professionals and students working or interested in the marketing, advertising, and communications industries.

Our Diversity Co-Chair Leslie Harris isn’t letting the word ‘No’ stop her in a career setting, and we’re all here for it. Read the latest blog post on The Difference Dialogues to learn more about her unique experiences navigating the ad industry as a black woman, and why she’s not afraid to be herself. She’s also got some bomb advice for any students who are interested in advertising, so do yourself a favor and head to ad2austin.com/blog for her bad-ass insight, complete with Step Brothers references. @lesliegenet Did we just become best friends?!

We’re loving fall football season with our student members! Thanks to @adclub_txst for having us out to tailgate before their home game against New Mexico State- We had a blast with you guys and were equally enamored with your pumpkin decorating skills. We also had a burnt-orange blast with everyone who showed up yesterday to tailgate for the Longhorns’ final home game of the season! Shoutout to @atdpartners for providing a keg and pizza to fulfill all our fall football needs.
