Art Directors Club of Houston Holiday Bash
Here’s your last chance in 2006 to show ADCH you don’t compromise.
Tell your boss you’ve got to split and head to the Art Directors Club of Houston Holiday Bash.
It’ll be your opportunity to collect the 2006 awards you earned by not compromising as a creative professional; Order duplicate medals to show your clients you didn’t compromise by using their color choices; And a chance to pick-up your work before we show you we don’t compromise and give it all away.
At the very least come out, talk with other creative professionals, become a member and show the world you do not compromise as you gulp down eggnog at 3568 calories a serving.
