Every day, we pass billboards peddling liquor and car insurance.
Then there are billboards touting a different message—values.
The Pass It On outdoor effort is recognized as one of the most successful public service campaigns
in the history of outdoor advertising. The TV spots meanwhile have reached millions in well over 200 countries.
The extraordinary story behind this enormously successful campaign from
Gary Dixon, President of The Foundation for a Better Life was one of the most inspirational events for Ad Club.
It’s a different perspective on advertising that's made an amazing difference.

 Ad Legend Luke Sullivan Gets To The Point:
HOW TO SUCK LESS!
This wasn’t so much just a talk about advertising. If anything, it was about how Luke Sullivan has himself sucked. But in doing so he has discovered certain truths about human nature.

That was the takeaway of February 10th’s sold-out talk with the iconic writer. Fear, laziness and arrogance are the enemies of greatness. We all have those qualities.

About 25 minutes into Richard Lent’s presentation as part of the New Denver Ad Club’s Outside Voices Speaker Series, virtually everyone in the room shared the same thought, a thought that would be repeated many times throughout the night: “Holy sh*t, we should do that!”
Richard Lent, founder and CEO of AgencyNet, started his remarkably candid presentation with a brief synopsis of the challenges facing the digital industry.
”We are in a fast-changing, nascent industry. We are asked to innovate, to create brand new solutions to problems every day. We are asked to pre-price that innovation. We are often asked to deliver those solutions under unrealistic timelines. Design is one of the most subjective deliverables on earth. And complicating the matter, we have spoiled our clients over the last half a century.”
To face these challenges, Lent shared his dirty dozen; twelve secrets to the success of his business.
