Why join ClubAd?

ClubAd is the UWF student chapter of the American Advertising Federation. It bridges students’ college learning experiences and professional careers in the advertising or communications industry. It is for aspiring creatives who want to build experiences, network, and gain preparation for a promising future.

ClubAd is run and led by students and is open to all UWF undergraduate and graduate students. It has a two-tier membership. As a UWF student organization member, students network with local advertising, public relations, marketing, and media professionals, visit advertising/PR agencies, invite creative directors for portfolio reviews, and create advertising campaigns for local businesses. Members also compete in the annual American Advertising Awards (ADDY Awards), the largest creative competition in the US.

As a member of the American Advertising Federation (AAF), students make trips to major cities for AAF-sponsored events, where they can meet leading advertising professionals. Students are eligible for nominations to the Alpha Delta Sigma Honor Society, AAF-sponsored internships, and other awards. The benefits of AAF require an annual membership fee. Please contact the ClubAd faculty advisor, Dr. Ying Huang, at yhuang1@uwf.edu for more details.
