ADSPIRATIONS
What’s an ad you can’t stop thinking about?
Maybe it’s a commercial you still remember years later. A billboard that stopped you in your tracks. A campaign you wish you’d made. A brand film that gave you chills. Or something that simply made you think, Damn, that’s good.
On October 22, AAF Seattle and Offbeat Films invite Seattle’s creative community to Adspirations—an interactive evening dedicated to the advertising and creative work that inspires us.
No panels. No presentations. No experts telling you what’s good.
How does ADSPIRATIONS work?
We’ll watch a curated collection of creative work together, hear why people chose it, and then open up the conversation at our tables. What works? What doesn’t? Why is it memorable? Would it work today? What would you have done differently?
How to participate or submit work?
When you register, you’ll have the option to submit an ad or piece of creative work that has inspired, challenged, surprised, or stayed with you. Anything goes: commercials, print, OOH, social, digital, experiential, branded content, websites, or something completely unexpected.
Submitting work is encouraged, but absolutely not required to attend. Come to share something you love, discover something new, join the conversation—or simply enjoy the work.
Whether you work in advertising, marketing, design, strategy, media, production, film, photography, content, communications, or just love great creative, you’re welcome.
Come with an ad—or don’t. Come with an opinion. Leave a little more inspired.
