If you’ve made it this far, you’re obviously thinking about joining the Ad Club. Now we have More Than One Good Reason why you definitely should. Check out the list. Once you do, you’ll realize there’s not one good reason you shouldn’t join. Welcome to the Club.

Join the Advertising Club of Buffalo
The Ad Club is open to anybody and everybody working in, studying or even just interested in advertising or marketing. No, seriously. Agency folks (account service & creatives), freelancers, in-house marketing teams, vendors, small business owners, web and interactive designers, illustrators, PR pros, photographers, professors and students. Phew, did we miss anyone? If we did, don’t worry, you’re welcome too. Because we know that different backgrounds bring different points-of-view and different opportunities to learn from each other. And that’s what makes the Ad Club of Buffalo different.

Rock a Reason!
 
Submit a poster or original reason in the More Than One Good Reason Exhibit — a fun, restriction-free chance to show off your creative chops and celebrate the new membership year. It’s free and easy to participate, you just have to be a member:

1. Choose one good reason to join the Ad Club from the list at right, or write your own.

2. Design it in poster form on your own or with a friend; any size, shape or color you choose.
All you need to include is the Ad Club “B” logo
OR Submit an original reason by plugging it into into our template.

3. Have that bad boy printed and deliver it to an Ad Club board member or Ad Club event by November 1.

The posters and original reasons will be displayed at the Ad Club’s annual Charity Happy Hour in December, where two grand prize winners (one best poster, one best original reason) will be selected by a jury of our peers for the sweetest prize there is: BRAGGING RIGHTS.
