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

We ❤️ these talented ladies! Here’s to all the women out there kicking ass and taking names on a daily basis #internationalwomensday #whyad2

Diversity and inclusion are necessary and beneficial in any industry, which is why connecting with our work communities of ad professionals is an invaluable tool we can use to better ourselves and our workplaces. Join us tomorrow, 2/27 for our second diversity panel session from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at @t3thinktank to ‘Ad 2’ your insights the different experiences and challenges of professionals from various backgrounds in the marketing and advertising communities. We invite you to bring an open mind and collaborative spirit while we engage with one another in a comfortable and accepting space. Link in bio! #whyad2

We have some big roles to fill! Our board is in need of some key positions, and we are looking for hardworking talent to support our networking organization of students and young professionals under 32.
If you are a pro at networking and can help us find event-based sponsors and annual support to fund our organization, apply today to be our new Sponsorship Chair! If that isn’t your style, we are also in need of a long form copywriter who can churn out content like nobody’s business, and a digital designer with exceptional attention to detail. Apply at this link: https://bit.ly/2DOMk63 and tell us why you’d be an important addition to our team!

Thanks to all who showed up last week at @nativehostel to help kick off the Ad2 new year and meet some new faces at our first #AdSocial of 2019! Special shoutouts to our co-host, @adfedaustin, and our happy hour sponsors, @bigtunainteractive and @mnitargetedmediainc. We can’t wait to see more of you at next month’s AdSocial! It’s still a great time to get involved in AAF and Ad 2, so reach out to either of our organizations for more information on open board positions and membership perks.

Last night we hosted the inaugural Ad 2 Austin Mentorship Program kick-off event! This program connects industry professionals with emerging talent to encourage professional and personal development. Thank you to all the Mentor/Mentee groups that came out to meet and mingle, and thank you to @capitalfactory for providing the beautiful space! 💡 #WhyAd2

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 had a ball celebrating the most wonderful time of the year with all who came out to our December AdSocial! Thanks to our co-hosts @adfedaustin and our superb Gold Level Sponsor, DJNR Interactive, LLC. Stay tuned for details on the first happy hour of 2019, and we’ll keep you posted on all the other Ad 2 events you won’t want to miss in the upcoming year.

Now is the time to apply to @adfedaustin’s #addyawards! #Students: Visit https://www.austinadfed.com/addys/ and enter to showcase your creative talent to professionals in #Austin. The last day to apply is this Thursday, December 20.
