Mentorship

It’s time to upgrade your connection and let us link you to a local ad pro.

Our mentorship Program Overview

Learning how to navigate the professional world can be an overwhelming step for students and recent graduates. Being able to connect with someone who’s been through similar challenges can make all the difference for young professionals entering the advertising industry. That’s where Ad 2 Austin’s Mentorship Program plays a vital role. We help connect seasoned professionals in the advertising/marketing industry with the next generation of leaders. Through this program, we hope to cultivate career growth for both the Mentor and Mentee.

The Spring Mentorship Program will begin in January 2024 and run through March 2024. Mentors and Mentees must be available to meet at least once a month either in person or virtually. Ad 2 Austin will organize monthly events with focus topics for all Mentors and Mentees to attend.

Applications for the 2024 Spring Mentorship program are closed.

Program objective

Our objective is simple: connect industry professionals with emerging talent through an environment that fosters dialogue about professional and personal development.

With your expertise, your Mentee will benefit from an individualized experience where they can learn the ins-and-outs of a career in advertising, hone their networking skills, and learn how to navigate industry/agency culture to help jumpstart their career.
