Need Love? Become a Sponsor.
Contrary to popular belief, money can buy you love – because at the AADC we really do love our sponsors. 
A lot.
As a not-for-profit organisation the AADC relies upon the generosity and support of our sponsors to carry out our objectives and programs each year.
Becoming a Gold, Silver or Bronze sponsor brings distinct benefits (apart from our undying devotion) not least of which is the exposure and growth your brand will receive as you’re seen to be actively supporting the South Australian creative community.
To find out how you can feel the love of South Australia’s creative community and feel really, really, really good about contributing even more to the state’s creative industry, simply click HERE to download the 2010 AADC Sponsorship Information in pdf form.

Sadly, our industry lost a fantastic talent and a lovely man recently, with the passing of Chris Briscoe. As an Art Director, together with his creative partner and close friend Susie Immurs, Chris worked on so many iconic brands through his time in the Adelaide industry and later interstate.

Campaigns like ‘Give and Take Away the Bars’ for Adelaide Zoo, ‘Very Very Chocolatey’ for Farmers Union, ‘The Cats Of Australia’ for Snappy Tom and the Mutual Community ‘Apples’ logo which is still in use today – to name but a few. Through the AADC, Chris was involved in multiple Gold Chair wins at our Awards, was a member of various committees and is a Watering Can recipient, recognising his significant contribution to our industry. His work lives on as does his memory. On behalf of the AADC, our thoughts go out to his family and friends, particularly his children Simon, Luke and Tessa.
