Ad 2 OKC is a group of young,
passionate,
forward thinking and forward
moving people making a difference. We are
active, die hard
advertising addicts,
blazing our way to a
brighter tomorrow
with style
and good
company.
How we
started...
In 2005,
Oklahoma City Ad Club board members recognized a need for a younger club to
appeal to individuals 32 and under. With a lot of research and time, Ad2OKC
became the 17th Ad2 in the nation, opening its doors in 2006. Ad2 is a stepping
stone for college graduates and young professionals. As a way for young
professionals to meet other young professionals and eventually grow into Ad
Club, Ad2OKC offers an alternative to young professionals that is based on
networking, education and public service.
What we do...
In a word – Help. We help connect young communications, advertising, marketing and public relations professionals with other young professionals, which in turn helps open
doors and keeps careers moving upward. Ad2OKC also helps stimulate the English
language by promoting new phrases like ‘comm. pros’ and ‘radd-with-two-d’s’
(which you will experience momentarily).
Just as importantly, Ad2OKC’s yearly public service campaign helps our
community grow stronger/safer/more responsible/BETTER. And
finally, a natural bi-product of being made up of under 32-year-old comm. pros,
Ad 2 helps young professionals
to have fun and remember how radd-with-two-d’s our chosen profession
really is.
...and why you should Ad2.
We already mentioned the networking, public
servicing, fun having, and phrase creating. Outside of that, Ad2 is a
division of the American Advertising Federation, the country’s largest
advertising advocacy group, so you could say we know people. And that should
help you on your road to the top, you future industry leader you.
The bigger picture.
A division of the American
Advertising Federation, the country's
largest advertising advocacy group, Ad2 is the future of advertising. With local
chapters across the United States, Ad2 provides young advertising, marketing and
communication professionals the contacts, education and leadership opportunities
they need to become tomorrow's industry leaders.
