what makes us unique?
we're a nonprofit
- all club revenue goes right back into our organization so we can continuously host educational and relevant events for members.

-
since we don’t have an aaf chapter like other cities do, ad 2 milwaukee is 100% self-funded. we count on the support from ad 2 national and aaf district 8 along with grassroots fundraising and partnerships to host events for young professionals in milwaukee.

- we’re students, graduates, freelancers, interns, agency/in-house professionals
- we cover a range of career levels and communication fields like graphic designers, art directors, social media specialists, copywriters, account managers, seo analysts, ux/ui designers, public relations…you get the idea!
