It started with wanting a beer and someone to talk shop with.
The honest origin: Aaron wanted to grab a beer with people who could talk shop — campaigns, clients, the industry — without having to explain the industry first. Ottawa didn't have that room, so he built it.
Ottawa's advertising industry is bigger than it looks and more scattered than it should be — agencies in Westboro, media sellers downtown, marketers in Kanata. The Ad Club is the shared table: events, conversation, and a place to connect, learn, and collaborate with people who know what they're doing.
Ottawa needed a space for its advertising and marketing industry to gather. Marcus and Muse runs it because no one else did — and it's our favourite project.
Come for the beer. Stay for the industry.
If you work in or around advertising in Ottawa, the club is for you. No pitch, no agenda — just the industry, in one room.
