Add Advertising Creative Events
Want to add an event to the Advertising Creative's Event Calendar?
Two ways to get that done.
- Contact the AdHack team. Tell us the details and we'll likely add it to the calendar. We'll curate the calendar to keep it on-topic and add our own events as well. Recommended for recurring events and AdHack community events.
- Add an event to our Advertising Creative Events group on Upcoming. The group is open to anyone on Upcoming (Yahoo) and we won't moderate these events unless they're abused. Recommended for one-off events and in-person events at a specific location.
Origin of the Creative Calendar
We kept running into dates without enough warning. We wanted to do something for special occasions — St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Hallowe'en — but we didn't allow enough time.
So we created a calendar to notify us prior to any major event.
We shared that calendar with some friends. They liked it. They wanted to subscribe to it.
So we found out how to share the calendar publicly. The Advertising Creative's Events Calendar was born.
Now maybe you'll like it too.
