10 years in the making.

You have the drive,

we have the direction.

The Ad Club at Indiana University provides IU students pursuing careers in Advertising a place to grow, network, and expand their knowledge outside of the classroom.

Advertising is all about who you know, that’s why we’ve become networking experts.

Each year, we foster meaningful connections between students and bring world-renowned industry speakers to Bloomington to share their knowledge with our members — and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Networking should start with “Hello”

Not an Application.

Ad Club IU is the only marketing organization at Indiana University that does not require an application or interview.
