Ad 2 Orlando

2009-2010 New Year Kick Off Event

by

Ad 2 Orlando and the American Advertising Federation-Orlando (AAF-O) started the new organizational year off right with its New Year Kick Off Event at Brix in downtown Orlando. The event was a lively opportunity for both AAF-O and Ad 2 members to come out and meet the organization’s new board of directors, network with their fellow members and enjoy an evening of entertainment, drinks and fun.

Jen Gammichia and Yeosh Bendayan enthusiastically greeted all members as they arrived for the first social event of the year. New members to register for Ad 2 or AAF-O enjoyed membership discounts and a free T-shirt. Also, Brix kindly donated everyone’s first drink for free along with some yummy appetizers.

Everyone also had the chance to sign up for committees within both organizations — but don’t worry — you can still sign-up. Just email president@ad2orlando.org to request info about committees for Ad 2 Orlando and jon@aaf-orlando.org to learn about joining committees for AAF-O. Committee members will get the opportunity for hands-on involvement on upcoming activities, charities, events and aspirations for the upcoming year.

The evening was documented by Craig Brooks of Orlando Guest List, and he didn’t miss a moment as he snapped pictures while guests socialized, mixed and mingled. Photos are currently posted on Ad 2 Orlando’s Facebook page. Check it out and see for yourself the fun and excitement that was had by all who attended! All in all, the New Year Kick Off Event was a huge success! We were glad to see everyone who came out to support Ad 2 and AAF-O. Stay tuned for information on the next Ad 2 Orlando event!

Ad 2 Orlando Blog: What to expect

by

Well, here you have it folks — the first official blog for Ad 2 Orlando – Young professionals in the advertising, marketing, public relations, design and interactive industries. Ad 2 Orlando is different from many other organizations and we wanted the first blog to represent what it is that makes us unique.

As an organization, we do a lot more than a couple socials and some educational programs.  We give young professionals the opportunity to get ahead of the game and take responsibility for their career.  It’s a dog eat dog world, and Ad 2 Orlando provides our membership with the chance to get ahead.  

We have several different committees that allow all different levels of commitment including: Membership, Communications, Public Relations, Programs, Socials, Education, Government Relations, Sponsorship, Diversity, and Public Service.  As this blog continues to grow and expand, there will be posts from the chairs of these different committees, who span several different industries, have different views, interests and information to offer.

No matter what your level of interest is, there is a place for you in Ad 2 Orlando. And if there’s not a place, this organization is set up to evolve and create one.

Please RSS our blog and keep up to date with what’s going on within our organization, and if you really want to keep up to date — become a member.  Ad 2 Orlando: Make It Your Own.
