What is Advertising Week?
Advertising Week is North America's premier gathering of cutting edge communications leaders. The Week is a hybrid of thought leadership and special event programming, uniting clients, creatives, media and inspiring figures like Lorne Michaels, Ludacris, Jon Bon Jovi, Jimmy Wales, Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, Donny Deutsch, Lewis Black, Chaka Khan, Bob Greenberg, Emeril, Jimmy Fallon, Ziggy Marley . . . and many more.
What is Advertising Week's mission?
Advertising Week's mission is to galvanize the industry by creating an entertaining, enlightening and engaging platform for disparate parts of the business. Along the way, The Week is a tangible force – moving key industry goals around talent and diversity forward via GeneratioNext, Advertising Futures and a broad partnership with Virtual Enterprise.
When is Advertising Week? September 21 - 25, 2009
Who organizes Advertising Week?
Advertising Week is governed by an independent Board of Directors led by Co-Chairs, Chuck Porter (Crispin Porter + Bogusky) and Linda Sawyer (Deutsch) and President Nancy Hill (4A's). Day-to-day, Stillwell Partners, led by Matt Scheckner along with Jillian Mellone and Lance Pillersdorf, work year-round to pull Advertising Week together. The Week also enjoys strong organizational support from more than 30 major industry trade associations.
How is Advertising Week funded?
Advertising Week receives no public or private subsidies or industry grants – it is a self-sustaining enterprise, privately funded by our fantastic Corporate Partners led by Adobe, AOL's Platform A, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Panasonic, and other supporters like, GE, Interpublic, Johnson & Johnson, MDC, NBC Universal, PricewaterhouseCoopers, USA Today . . . And many more, including the members of the Advertising Week Organizing Committee. You may also download a copy of the 2008 Official Guide to view the ads placed in the Guide by our extended family of supporters.
What's New for 2009?
Change and evolution are our hallmarks. The Thought Leadership program anchors remain, but the content will be 100% new. Tribeca Cinemas comes back into the fold re-establishing a downtown bookend to our nerve center in Times Square at The Times Center and the Nokia Theatre. The Paley Center drops out of the mix in 2009 during a construction phase. Integrated campaigns take center stage as the AAAA O'Toole Awards moves into Advertising Week. NEXUS expands to two days. And the U.S. Hispanic Television Summit moves into The Week as well.
