Creative Networking
The New Denver Ad Club
1614 15TH ST DENVER, CO 80202
This fun networking group has incredible presentations, as well as a supportive group of creatives that range in age.
They also have a sub group called, Ad2 Denver, which is specifically for creatives who are new to the industry. This subgroup is part of the main membership, so you get a two-for-oner! Ad2 gets involved with local public service clients, giving young professionals hands-on industry experience… Which can often be very helpful when you are spiffing up your resume!
Apple Store
3000 E 1st Ave, Denver, CO 80206
Did you know that every Apple store has a one-on-one tutoring program? You just have to be part of their Pro Care program… Why this idea rocks for networking? I come to the store with easy and dumb questions, but by the time I leave, I am up-to-date with the latest Apple programs, and I have a new creative skill to add to my resume. Take a few extra minutes to chat with the tutor and you might realize that they are more involved within the creative industry then you realized, and they just might be the resource you need to help you move in a more creative direction.

It is all about the six degrees of separation… I can look up almost any business and have some sort of connection to somebody who works there.

Organize your business contacts here and make use of all that information!
