Memberships

For more than 60 years the advertising community has been a staple of the creative economy in Richmond.

Why join

Grow your professional network in-person and online

As a member, you will be able to attend our monthly Socials, held every 3rd Thursday, where you can meet creatives at every career stage. Whether you are looking for a new role, freelance opportunities or new to the area, our Socials allow you to grow your network and get your name in the community. In addition, we now have a member's only Discord server where you can continue the conversations and share resources.

Develop your craft and learn from industry leaders

The Mentorship Program provides local undergraduate and graduate students with the unique opportunity to be paired 1:1 with a seasoned advertising professional with similar career interests.

Showcase your best work and share the good word

We host the annual Richmond Show every spring to celebrate the best work from students, individuals and agencies.
