Dang ol’, I tell you what, man.

It’s the end of Summer and what better time for a Pub Crawl then now?! In the past we’ve been Nerds, Hippies and the Twitterati. This year, we’re ditching classy for trashy and donning our best (or worst as it were) redneck gear. So put on your best mullet, pull out those funky teeth and don’t forget to show your love for the champagne of beers!

What a great way to kick-off the new fiscal year for the San Diego Ad Club … they’ll start with a beautiful summer evening in the garden at the USD Joan Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice. You’ll get to mix and mingle with the newly elected San Diego Ad Club officers and Board of Directors. We’ll recognize a few people for their great contributions to the Club and two term Ad Club president Greg Joumas will pass the gavel to our first-ever co-presidents, Melissa Lopez and Jon Bailey.

Then we’ll get to see the legendary work from the Martin Agency … Geico, UPS, Free Credit Report.com and many other brands when Mike Hughes, the latest inductee into the One Club’s Hall of Fame, joins us on the stage for the fourth in our “Evening with …” series. The first three were Alex Bogusky, Jeff Goodby and Dan Wieden and although you may not know the name Mike Hughes, you certainly know his work. Oh … and the Martin Agency was also named U.S. Agency of the Year.

Kudos for Mike Hughes and The Martin Agency Adweek has called Mike one of the nine best creative directors in America. Ad Age, on the other hand, has listed The Martin Agency as one of the three best creative agencies in the world. “Which proves,” Mike says, “that the rest of the agency is a lot better than I am.” Adweek, incidentally, gave a one-word explanation for Mike’s inclusion on their creative directors list: “integrity.”

The San Diego Ad Club appreciates the support of our sponsors. Many thanks to: Clients&Profits, EOS (Electronic Output Solutions).
