About The Ad Club of Maine

The charter of the Advertising Club of Maine was signed on July 23, 1923 at the Congress Square Hotel in downtown Portland. We are one of the nation’s oldest professional organizations for advertising executives.
Our membership is comprised of representatives from the major agencies in the state, all the media outlets, printers, direct mail houses, public relations professionals, photographers, web designers, freelance copywriters, and graphic artists.
We meet monthly throughout the year and host the bi-annual Broderson Awards, which recognize creative excellence in advertising throughout the state.

Our Mission
To lead and serve the membership through professional development, networking opportunities, and recognition of creative excellence.

This blog was developed with the purpose of discussing the “Good, Bad, and Ugly” side of the ad business. All comments and opinions are welcome. Please be respectful, but most of all, be engaged.
