Step into the shadows of the advertising world for a night of eerie fun and unforgettable storytelling. A Nightmare on Ad Street is an intimate Halloween-themed gathering for Seattle’s advertising, strategy, social, and creative community — where the horrors of haunted algorithms, doomed campaigns, and “briefs from hell” come to life.
Join us around our faux campfire for spooky tales from the industry, networking, themed drinks, and a chance to laugh (and scream) at the things that go bump in Q4.
