Apply Now for AAF Charleston’s Pro Bono Ad Campaign
Non-profit organizations provide some of the most crucial services in our community. However, many are saddled with low marketing budgets and a constant struggle to make their presence known in the already crowded service landscape.
For this reason, AAF Charleston, as part of our dedication to public service, will provide a full advertising campaign to a chosen non-profit organization for the 2010-2011 fiscal year. The campaign will be designed specifically for the chosen non-profit, utilizing talent from across the marketing and advertising industry.

Membership Drive
We’re so in love with the new Taco Boy downtown, that we decided to host our First Annual Membership Drive there on Tuesday, August 25. Come hang out with us from 5:30 to 7:30 that night for some cocktails and stellar company: if you pay your member dues that night, you’ll get a handy wrist band and can enjoy some libations on us, and if you aren’t sure you’re ready to make the leap to official member, you can give us $15 and in return, we’ll give you a wrist band to drink on our tab AND talk your ear off about how great we are (you’ll want to join before you leave). See our updated member packages.
