Ad Speaks Houston: A Podcast by the American Advertising Foundation - Houston Chapter

We have such a great team of people who know how to get things done, in a very big way.  Big enough, that Houston is well known in AAF D10 and AAF National as the club to watch and learn from.  We have a big job to do as we move into 2022 and our team is ready to rock the year.  Our team is the best of the best.  You'll enjoy hearing WHY AAF is their focus.

Mike Albrecht said it best; surround yourself with great people and amazing things happen.  That's the story we're telling today with our Holiday Audio Card #2.  Take a moment to learn more about Sonny, Mike and Robyn.  Their stories are inspiring and fun.

Alvin Wright, always steps up with a beautiful spirit and a can-do attitude.  Joe Biondi is a past AAFH Board Member and still very involved in AAF.  Dylan Moore is our AAFH Chair-Elect and understands the value of community through his association with AAFH.  Listen to their stories and learn more about who we are.

With data and technology, the process of planning and driving a successful advertising campaign is something more and more advertisers are taking advantage of.  So the question to ask; is targeting accurate and should we trust the data providers?  Listen in on the conversation with Jenn Gill and Andy Lavender from Effectv.

The AAF-Houston 2021 Student Conference is coming quickly, November 11th and 12th.  It's 2 days of online panel discussion, peer networking, a virtual toolbox filled with career resources and opportunities to polish student resumes and portfolios through professional reviews.  It's called Construct and it's well worth your investment.  If you have the time, come join us.

In a town called Houston, not that long ago, a few guys put together one of the best doggone creative houses on the planet.  They named it Radio Works, and the rest is advertising history.  We can still learn a lot from these "old dogs".  It's time to go to class.

NSAC is the National Student Advertising Competition, where more than 2000 college students create a strategic advertising/marketing campaign for a corporate client.  This year it's Oculus, from Facebook.  Walking away with honors is so much more than a cash prize.  It's affirmation of qualification, and it's really fun.  So what are you waiting for?

Steve Pacheco President/CEO of AAF, Ann Iverson, brand builder and inspiring team leader, Helen Lavelle "Painter with a Purpose", and Steve Hall, a consistent supporter of education in advertising, all have something in common.  They LOVE this industry, and give back to it with over the top devotion.  This is how it's done.

From Bozell and Jacobs, to FKM, to Oxford Ideaz, Suzie Jennings has a love affair with advertising, and a creative attitude that has given her bragging rights, and a few awards along the way.  For those of us who have never worked a day in our lives, because we're doing what we love best, Suzie's story will encourage you, and make you smile.

This is a conversation with the talented collective of passionate young communication professionals who make up Ad2 Houston.  These are the building blocks of our future and you'll be inspired to hear their story.  Guido Falconi and his team show us that even in a pandemic, you CAN get things done.
