Art+Copy Club and ad2 are special interests groups serving creative professionals and members age 32 and younger, respectively. Membership in either one of these special interest groups or regular Ad Club membership is reciprocal, meaning members enjoy benefits of these three organizations, plus the AAF. Joining ad2 or Art+Copy Club simply means your heart and career have certain needs and they’re going to look out for them.
