The Adelaide Advertising + Design Club and the Australian Cinematographers Society join forces

The Adelaide Advertising and Design Club (AADC) and the Australian Cinematographers Society (ACS) South Australian branch join forces to boost support in the local advertising and film industries.

Both organisations are not-for-profit and run by leaders in their respective fields. The AADC was established to promote and maintain high standards of creativity in South Australia. The ACS is a national organisation working towards improving the quality and recognition of cinematic art within Australia.

Both organisations will Gold co-sponsor one another and will focus on fostering existing relationships and creating new ones, to show support at both educational and networking events and awards shows. The benefits will be mutual.

Says Anna Bardsley-Jones of the AADC Executive Committee and co-chair of awards and events: “ACS members have contributed hugely to the success of our work over the years, hopefully we’ve played a part in their careers too. It’s an exciting collaboration.”

Says Josh Welbourn AADC co-president: “The AADC is constantly looking to further appropriate professional relationships with industry bodies for the benefit of our members, kicking off 2015 by formally aligning with the ACS and the TCC (The Communications Council). We look forward to collaborating with both organisations throughout the year.”

Says Ernie Cark ACS SA branch president: “The SA branch of the ACS is excited in forming this collaboration.  We see benefits for both AADC and ACS members. We look forward to seeing AADC members at our screenings / Q&A nights as well as our other informative trade nights.”

Members from both sides should expect to see correspondence from their relative organisations soon.
