A new, important event for the Dallas ad industry
AdEdge will provide a unique occasion to influence our industry’s future talent pool in the Dallas area by creating an unprecedented exposure to this market’s agencies and career opportunities.
This singularly special event will gather together 200 graduating advertising/marketing/business seniors as they prepare to enter the job market.
Not a job fair, the program has been specially designed by Dallas agency working professionals who will be hands-on at the event; speaking, advising and mentoring. Collaborating closely with the universities in the area, this fresh, inventive event is a new, connective way to give graduating and graduate students a giant step forward into their careers.
A variety of sessions will inform and engage students in the significance of the Dallas ad community and its array of professional options. For example:
- A keynote address from Stan Richards (CEO of The Richards Group)
- A panel on “A day in the life of a typical ad person”
- A panel on “What agencies are looking for in a new hire.”
- Breakout sessions with agency practitioners on:
- Building a compelling resume
- Developing an attractive portfolio
- Understanding the “rules of the road” to work successfully in an agency
- And much more
Finally, there will be time for networking and socializing between students and industry professionals. In sum, there’s never been a program in this market that will provide a more comprehensive exposure to the Dallas ad industry for students interested in advertising careers.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Power to the People
We’re living in the age of the empowered consumer. Technology has given consumers great influence and even greater expectations for what brands must deliver. Their sentiment can build a brand up or take it down overnight. Consumers are changing the marketing remit—forcing brands to put customer experience at the center of every aspect of their business. Join your peers at the 4A’s StratFest as we explore the new meaning of consumer-centricity.
WORKSHOPS
4A’s Learning and Development provides courses and learning experiences which have been curated and produced specifically for our industry. Delivered by best-in-class thought leaders, we offer education to ensure talent at all agency levels are prepared for the business today and tomorrow.
