For half a century, the Brisbane Advertising and Design Club has been the pulse of Brisbane’s creative industry, championing the unsung heroes who pour their heart and soul into every project.
The Brisbane Advertising and Design Club (BADC) is a non-profit organisation which exists to promote the creative excellence of the Brisbane advertising and design industries.
BADC is at the centre of creating a healthy advertising, design and digital community – which covers many different types of businesses including freelancers, studios and agencies, as well as marketers and advertisers.
The BADC awards is the gala event for the Brisbane advertising and design industry. It is the only recognition for great creative work in this unique community. The BADC Awards are the creative barometer for the Brisbane advertising community.
Entering the BADC Awards is an excellent opportunity to showcase your creative talent and gain recognition in Queensland's vibrant advertising and design community. We normally open for entries from mid-June to end of July for work done in the previous financial year.
Winning a BADC Award not only enhances your professional reputation but also provides validation from industry experts for your hard work and innovative ideas. It's a chance to celebrate your achievements, connect with peers, and inspire others with your unique vision.
The BADC awards is the gala event for the Brisbane advertising and design industry. The awards night is normally held in late October to early November and and represents the entire Brisbane Advertising industry in what is always a night to remember.
Through events and education we aim to maintain a high standard of advertising and design creative in Brisbane. With national and international creative talent and insights from legal, accounting and technology experts, we bring together unmissable opportunities for our members.
Trivia nights remain ever popular opportunities for members to catch up and crush their competition where nothing is at stake except our fragile egos and Trev the trivia trophy.
We have a fantastic calendar of education seminars, email updates and articles for members that are designed to celebrate creativity, educate, inspire and to get those in our industry together.
Our annual long lunch brings national and international guests such as Chris Howatson, Paul Middleditch, Jonathan Kneebone, Gastón Bigio and Tara Ford to the Brisbane creative community. Each year attendees are enthralled by guests before ‘lunching’ well into the evening.
Our members are from all parts of the Brisbane Advertising and Design community, early adopters and genuine influencers.
BADC members are people who understand that gazing out the window can be the most productive minutes of your working day. They don’t scoff when you say you need the Tinder app on your phone to keep up with social media trends. And they understand that convincing a client to pay for a professional photo shoot instead of using stock images is something to be celebrated.
Sure you need to be a member to enter the Awards. But that’s just one part of the equation. The more financial members we have, the more events, seminars and forums we can organise. That means more opportunities for you to stay informed and inspired.
BADC Club membership has a whole shopping list of rational features that make economic sense. They're listed below. But the most important benefit is the stimulation you will receive from associating with people who get what you do and will encourage you to do it better.
If that sounds like a good idea, join the club.
