BADC Awards Night 23 SEPT
Giving Brisbane Advertising and Design a fair go since 1974
The Brisbane Advertising and Design Club exists so everyone involved in the Creative Industries community can meet, talk, collaborate and network. The club is not just for "creatives". It's for every professional who is involved in the communications process.
Genius doesn't happen in isolation. It needs to be nurtured in a fertile environment. It happens when like-minded people spend time together that is not recorded on a timesheet.
To this end, the club runs the infamous BADC Awards and Awards Night, along with professional development and networking opportunities and a digital platform to grow the local industry.

If you can read this
you should be a member
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.
