Adelaide Advertising and Design Club Strengthens Industry Engagement with New Committees

The Adelaide Advertising and Design Club (AADC) has taken a significant step forward in its mission to enhance the advertising and design industry's reach and effectiveness by adding two new subcommittees - Communications and Sponsorships.

The Communications committee will oversee the organisation's social media, email, and newsletters, ensuring that the AADC's message is effectively communicated to its members and the industry at large.
