What can Ad 2 do for you?
Career opportunities and jobs
Just when you needed it most . . . Ad 2 Honolulu has a career opportunity service exclusively for its members. With an efficient e-mail blast system, and online job posting, members will be among the first to know of a job opportunity in the communication field. Hands on experience
Get involved in a committee and gain valuable professional experience you can add to your resume. Real experience. All the things you don’t get to do at your day job but wish you could. It’s the account executive that gets his chance as creative director; the web developer that plans events; and the media buyer who writes copy.
In this competitive marketplace, your skills, experience and confidence will set you above the rest. Networking with professionals
Build relationships that will continue to pay off both professionally and personally in years to come. Network with your peers, develop support for career advancement and professional encouragement. As part of the (older) Hawaii Advertising Federation, you can even network with major players already established in the industry. How's that for rubbin’ elbows? Educational Programs
Get invited to professional development programs specially designed for young marketing communications practitioners. We work hard to further our members' education with seminars and programs designed to enrich and encourage new skills in the industry. And many of these programs are free for members!
Programs feature local and national speakers from all fields of the ad biz. And topics cover diversity marketing considerations, creative issues, marketing and professional enrichment. Hey, they apply to all of us! Social Events
Of course in advertising, all work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy. So we make it a point to party once in a while (or more often than that) to break the ice and encourage both professional and personal relationships between the members. Like the saying goes, "Work to live, but live to play." Community Involvement
What better way to develop your skills than with a campaign for the community! The most popular and visible undertaking of Ad 2 Honolulu is the annual Public Service campaign. Time and talent is volunteered to develop a full-scale, multi-media campaign for a non-profit organization in Hawaii. This means you can gain experience in all levels of the advertising: media buying, promotions, creative direction, graphic design, public relations and marketing. Learn about print, television, radio, specialty advertising and more.
Every June, the American Advertising Federation (AAF) convention showcases the best Ad 2 Public Service campaigns as they go head-to-head in a national competition with other clubs. This enables members to show off their marketing efforts and creative talents beyond the local market. Ad 2 Honolulu's Public Service campaigns have won the highest awards year after year.

Connect with ad people across the country. Meet members from Ad 2 clubs in places like Miami, San Francisco, Seattle, Madison and Tampa Bay. And get introduced to the National Ad 2 board, who helps link up our members and looks out for the good of the entire organization. |
