Taken from Hyperactivitypography From A to Z, “an activity book for typographers illustrated in a nostalgic vintage style to give it a sweet and childlike look”, it’s the mantra they recommend cutting out and tacking up someplace you’ll see everyday. I’d suggest nothing less.

We’re sprucing things up around here. The first thing to go is our outdated “Ad II Roanoke” Facebook profile. Below, you can see the new activity for our brand new Ad2 Roanoke Facebook page. If you’d like to stay connected with us, this page will be the one we update for future events and all of the latest news from us.
Tomorrow 3 of the current AD2 Roanoke board members along with several incoming board members for our senior club, AAF Roanoke, will fly down to Sunny Orlando, FL for the American Advertising Federation’s National Conference. This will be my 4th conference and I couldn’t be more excited! It is a time to grow professionally and network with people from all across the country both experienced and a little green like me. At the professional level we have the opportunity to attend seminars by top industry executives on topics such as “Truth in Advertising, Can you Handle It?” and “Around the Water Cooler, What’s Your Professional Reputation?” At the club level there will be several round tables with opportunities to hear from members across the country on their programs, public service initiatives, and communication strategies. There are also planned social outings during the long weekend allowing for time to relax and hang out with other like-minded individuals. The conference concludes with the National Addy Awards Gala, which always leaves me awe-struck at the sheer creativity that exists within the advertising industry. I never leave this conference without feeling rejuvenated and inspired to be the best advertising professional and club leader possible. I can’t wait to come back this year and share all this new knowledge with Roanoke!
We’re excited to present Art & Copy for a limited engagement to the area. You’ll be able to see it April 6th at the Grandin Theatre in Roanoke or April 7th at The Lyric in Blacksburg.
Seating is limited, contact ad2@ad2roanoke.org for advanced ticket sales.
For anyone who can’t make it to the official Addy Gala (or who didn’t want to fork out $90 for it) Ad2 is having a separate event just for you! Come to Center in the Square in downtown Roanoke Tuesday, March 9th from 6-8 pm and walk through our special Addy Gallery of winners. See who the best of the best is from both the professional and student entries. This event is free and open to the public. We hope to see you there!
