Here’s what you might have missed from us:

December 2025 Ugly Holiday Sweater Party

An oldie, but a goodie! Thank you so much to everyone who attended our 2nd annual Ugly Holiday sweater party in 2025. We saw some extraordinary sweaters for this one! Excited to see what our next one looks like towards the end of this year.

My absolute favorite event is back! We’ll be hosting our 2nd annual Game Night at Slate on Thursday, February 26th, from 6 pm to 8 pm. Last year’s event was an absolute hit! Don’t believe us… Check out some of the moments we captured in our Google Drive HERE.

Join me, and my fellow board members of the Amanda Selwyn Dance Theatre, for our gala on February 28th. This gala will include the following with your ticket purchase:

  • dynamic performances from Amanda Selwyn Dance Theatre

  • Notes in Motion school program performances

  • live percussion

  • hors d’oeuvres

  • signature cocktails

  • live auction

  • DJ dance party

Tickets can be purchased HERE.

Here’s what’s coming.

  1. Be on the lookout for an invitation to our upcoming Open Mic Night with Unruly Collective in Bushwick on March 26th. 

  2. A name change…

  3. News! Our goal has always been to tell the story of our economy through the lens of marketing. Our next newsletter will do exactly that.

And Finally…

Captured during our July Rooftop Happy Hour in 2025

Since the spring of 2024, I've been building a networking group exclusively for people in the advertising industry here in NYC.

We've grown to more than 600+ members and have hosted monthly events with RSVPs with as many as 150 NYC-based brand-side, agency-side, and ad tech professionals.

And now, we're building again. I'm creating a lead-gen product for ad tech companies to use throughout the year as they look to acquire more customers for their business.

I've included a 2-minute survey below that will help us collect data points on the best ways to support you.

Please fill out this survey if you are responsible for the conferencing and event planning of your firm.

If you know the person responsible for creating or signing your team up for industry events, then please pass the survey along. I promise it won't take long. 😊

With permission, we’re sharing jobsinadtech.com, a trusted industry job board where ATA members can explore roles, take the next step in their careers, or post openings if their team is hiring.

Additionally, my work is also hiring! Please check out if any of the roles are a fit for you.
