Ad Club Atlanta Agency Tour

The Atlanta Agency Tour is right around the corner on Friday, November 6th. This is a great opportunity to make contacts, land internships, and widen perspectives.

These organizations have cleared a portion of their day to provide a professional understanding of the advertising world at work. As such, please dress appropriately, show these individuals respect, and bring your inquisitiveness. They enjoy having students visit their agency/school because (1) they are ecstatic about their jobs and (2) they are always looking for prospective interns and possible employees.

The tour begins at 22 Squared, a media agency, at 10:30 AM. We will wrap up there at noon and break for lunch. Portfolio Center, a prestigious portfolio school and our next stop, is holding a cookout for us beginning between 12:30 and 1:00 and ending at 1:30 p.m., when we tour the school and meet the faculty. Next we will visit Fitzgerald + Co. around 3:30 to visit one of the top ad agencies in Atlanta. We will end the tour with an alumni mixer to meet ad professionals who graduated from Grady.

Transportation is not provided, but carpooling with other members is encouraged. There is no fee to participate in the tour.

Please RSVP to woffordcreek@gmail.com so that these agencies and schools have an idea of the volume of students visiting.
