AD2 Roanoke

AD2 Roanoke is an affiliate of AAF (AAF Roanoke). This non-profit organization caught my eye for 2 reasons:

1. They have a very interactive site (ad2roanoke.org)

2. Most of these young professionals are 32 and younger – prime Diva age.

Current consumer perceptions (i.e. ME) and Strategic Issues of the Company 

From what I gathered through their tweets and Facebook posts accompanied by their fab website design – they know how to have a good time. They are even going AD2bing (tubing down the river) in the next couple weeks!  Throw on some Ray Bans and this Diva may consider crashing this tubing event.  Now, my research goes just as far as that, and if you can impress strictly through social media, you’re good with me!  The tweets are “punny” and I am all for a quality tweet-read. 

Now for the nitty-gritty, “so, what do they do?” question.  Unfortunately, I had to maneuver around the internet a bit more to figure out their main goal for the company - ain't nobody got time for that!  Since being an affiliate of AAF Roanoke, I am going to take a wild guess that they basically have the same intentions – “…devoted entirely to the business of advertising…come together to represent a diversity of companies from our community”.  To me, it is to the point but at the same time quite vague – but that may be my Diva stubbornness getting in the way.  Monica Jones, President of AD2 Roanoke, will be speaking in my class tomorrow – I fully plan on asking her simple questions just to get a better insight into this advertising company.

Questions for the honorary guest speaker (Monica Jones)

1. What is the mission of your company?

2. Is the tubing event open to the general public? (if yes, will drinks be provided?)

3. Is the real question, “What you know?” or “Who you know?” to get a foot in to a company?
