Welcome to Ad Society
WHO ARE WE? Ad Society is the University of Florida’s professional student advertising organization. We’re an organization providing students with opportunities to immerse themselves into the advertising industry all while having fun.
WHAT DO WE DO? Really, we do a lot of things. At each of our meetings we feature a guest speaker to share their advice and give us the inside scoop on what’s happening in the industry. We also host socials, volunteer and leadership opportunities, workshops and trips to agencies across the country.
WHY SHOULD YOU JOIN? Benefits of Ad Society Include: • Professional networking with our guest speakers and industry professionals • Gain more knowledge and new perspectives of our industry and jobs within it • Social network with ambitious and creative individuals from across different disciplines
WHAT DO OUR PAST MEMBERS HAVE TO SAY? “UF taught me what I needed to know about advertising, but Ad Society introduces you to people and opportunities that ultimately shape the trajectory of your career.” -Craig Kissoon, Ad Soc alum Ad Society taught me perhaps the most important industry lesson, which is networking. As someone who graduated and moved across the country to find a job, I wouldn’t have been able to do it if I didn’t have access to the crucial networking opportunities and wealth of information that Ad Society offered. And the people are great too. -Kremi Arabadjieva, Ad Soc alum
We run on committees
HEART HEART HEART heart
One of the most important aspects of Ad Society are our committees, where members get the chance to gain experience that’s relevant to their interests. Love art direction and copy? We could use help with the ICON. A designer at heart? Check out internal productions. Think you’re more of a party planner? Head over to event planning. We’ve got a committee for everyone.
