We know the letters DE&I, but do we know the depth of their importance in our society and our industry.  Our November D10 Fireside Chat included Dr. Cephas Archie, Dr. Whitnee Boyd, Keesha Townsend Taitt, and Leigh Browne, as they gave us their perspective on what we are doing right, and what we need to do better.  DE&I in the advertising industry.  Listen and learn.

The AAF brand is powerful.  As a platform representing our industry, as a community builder, as a beacon to make sure our industry stays on course and continues to thrive, and as a great resource for connecting people.  We're talking about jobs, first jobs.  Listen to 3 inspiring stories right now.

Kristina Turner is really putting Montgomery on the map when it comes to design and creativity! With over a decade of experience working for in-house agencies around Alabama, her focus on rethinking legacy brands, overseeing digital experiences, and delivering award-winning visual storytelling means she’s definitely someone we need to keep an eye on.

We talked a lot about her work as senior director of marketing and storytelling at Jeremiah Program, as well as her involvement as regional director for district seven of the American Advertising Federation. Of course, we both had to share our experiences about growing up between Selma and Montgomery, volunteering for national professional organizations, and she spoke about what keeps her in Montgomery and what that affords her as a creative. Kristina is really representing for the South, and I’m excited to see what else she’ll do in the future!

When Crystal Gonzales started her term as Governor of D10, we were still coming off the uncertainty of a pandemic.  And AAF D10 was quickly capturing the momentum of getting back together, in a big way.  Over her term, D10 also grew membership in a big way.  We are stronger, motivated, and excited about the results.  This conversation is a look back and a look ahead at D10 2022-2023.  Get ready to be inspired.

C'mon, it's Austin, it's Advent10n.  You would need a note from your parents, NOT to be there.  NSAC competition, Mosaic Awards, The Southwest Advertising Hall of Fame.  AAF CEO and President, Steve Pacheco, a keynote from Joanna Jenkins on DE&I, Ben Fauber on how to AI proof your business, a career fair, loads of networking, and hey, it's Austin.  April 12th through the 15th.  So, you comin?

Tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.  That attitude resonates in life and touches our industry in a big way.  The Better Business Bureau has been our foundational partner in ethical advertising.  And that value is more important than ever, today.  Learn how you can grab the benefits of a relationship with your local BBB chapter.  That's our latest 10 Questions with D10 conversation.  Enjoy.

Our D10 Fireside Chats are one more way that D10 connects with our members.  This was Crystal's first 10 with 10 and her comversation with John was enlightening and inspiring.  Enjoy!

Some people wander through life.  Chris Smith, on the other hand, is dancing like Tommy Tune.  On his mantra top ten list:  Be surprising, be predictable.  Don't make ads, tell stories.  He's pretty good at this advertising stuff.

Sophie Rogers knows how to pivot.  So for the past two years, AAF, Northeast Arkansas has kept the doors open and grown that club big time.  Here's a little encouragement from Sophie.  

D-10 is a super district.  With Austin Sandy in charge of programs for the district, D-10 is experiencing phenomenal growth.  This is how you do "programs".

I'm not sure there enough hours in the day, or days in the week to accomplish so many remarkable things.  As Governor of D10, Stephanie found the time to do that.  Stephanie takes us back to say thanks to her team and share what's next for the Guvnor.  It's a great conversation.
