4th Annual Agency Crawl

It’s that time of year again! Local St. Cloud agencies are opening their doors from 2:00-5:00 pm and inviting students and professionals inside to tour their space, view their work and network with their talented team. It’s an opportunity to learn more about the roles within an agency, the type of work that gets produced and experience the unique culture of each agency. Here is the 2014 agency line-up:

  • American Advertising Federation (AAF) of Central MN
  • 1 Better
  • Adventure Advertising
  • Cohlab
  • DAYTA Marketing
  • Gaslight Creative
  • Gearbox Functional Creative
  • Impartium
  • Johnson Group
  • Leighton Interactive
  • Live Edit
  • Meta 13
  • Thelen

We’re spicing things up this year by adding a challenge…with prizes! When you start your crawl at Great River Regional Library you’ll receive your map of the crawl – and on the back is a BINGO card. To mark spaces off on your BINGO card you’ll be asked to do a few things:

  • Ask a team member at each agency to sign or initial their spot on your BINGO card
  • Ask an AAF Board Member (located at the library) about Membership
  • Ask an Art or Creative Director, at any agency, about Portfolio expectations
  • And more…

Any standard BINGO – horizontal, vertical or diagonal – submitted by dropping your card off at the library, or Tweeting a picture of your card to @AAFCM #2014crawl is qualified to enter a Target gift card. One $50 winner and two $25 winners will be selected. A blackout BINGO will get you a second entry into the prize drawing.
