Ad Club, UK’s American Advertising Federation chapter, serves to provide opportunities for professional development. Ad Club is open to all students regardless of major or class rank. There are opportunities to attend student conferences and networking events, such as the AAF National Student Insight/Interaction event, a two-day conference where students can learn about the field of advertising, discover what trends are developing in the industry, and get a jump-start on their career by networking with knowledgeable advertising professionals and recruiters.

What is Ad Club?

Ad Club is a professional club focusing on networking and immersing oneself into the advertising industry. This year, we are revamping the club. Our goal is to host events that are comprised of guest speakers in the industry, as well as hands-on classes to learn new and valuable skills. The organization will also help you to build your resume.
