“AAF is an excellent avenue to keep up with current trends in marketing & advertising and it is also a great place to network with your peers.”
Dave Kohl, Sales Manager, Quality Printing
“Being on the client side of the business, sometimes ‘the world is my cloister.’ The networking and social opportunities that AAF provides are so important to me. AAF keeps me in touch with a broader base of professionals in our business, and the events and programs are both entertaining and educational.”
Steve Miller, Field Marketing Manager, Hardee’s®
“Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to see and hear some amazing speakers—from internationally renowned ad agencies like Crispin and powerhouse brands like ESPN. I always feel inspired and energized after these types of events.”
Devra D. Callaghan, Executive Vice President & COO, Pearson Parners
“AAF or Ad Club has always been an important part of my advertising and marketing career. As a volunteer on the board and for other events I’ve learned a lot and met some great people in our business. The networking events and meetings have always been a great way to catch up with those people and other colleagues. It’s the best way to get to know the most people in our industry in Indianapolis.”
Bruce Stickle, Account Executive, LIN TV
