Established in 1911, the Advertising Club of San Diego is one of San Diego's oldest industry organizations.

      

The Advertising Club of San Diego is an organization that brings together the advertising community to enhance the advertising profession through fellowship, education, and community service. With a membership of approximately 600 professionals, the club represents all fields of marketing, public relations and advertising. The Ad Club enhances the advertising profession by providing networking and career advancement opportunities, along with education and personal development, through fellowship, and community service for local organizations in advertising and related communication fields. Strong ties to the local community are demonstrated through our educational services, industry emergency fund, internship program, 24-hour job line, as well as business-to-business referrals.

      

		Notable events promoted by the Ad Club include the annual Holiday Party and Toys-for-Tots Drive, the annual Creative Show San Diego, and the Annual Media Auction, a silent/live auction event which serves as one of the club's annual fundraiser. A portion of the proceeds from the Auction goes to benefit the club's new emergency fund for members and families in need, SAFE.

      

A volunteer Board of Directors oversees the vision, mission and strategic planning for the club with a 2-person staff to carryout the day-to-day activities such as member support services, coordination of luncheons, publishing a monthly magazine, Networking After Five, seminars, internship programs and other activities as needed.
