The United Adworkers Local 208 is a Milwaukee based organization dedicated to the pursuit of marketing communications excellence. We are a close knit group loosely made up of advertising practitioners, designers, directors, photographers, production professionals, students and anyone else interested in the fine art of propaganda. Locally, we are here to educate future practitioners, inform current professionals and foster community camaraderie. Globally, we have charged ourselves with promoting Milwaukee as a great place to do great work. Being a member of United Adworkers Local 208 not only says a lot about who you are as a person, it speaks volumes about the person you are. In the past we’ve hosted Cannes Reel showings, internationally renowned speakers and parties too many (and wild) to mention. Please take advantage of the future events listed within this site as a gift to yourself for actually giving a damn about what you do and the people who share your passions.

As a member today, you’ll enjoy the following perks:

• Discounted admission fees to speaking events featuring some of the nation’s finest creative minds
• Opportunities to connect with hundreds of fellow members at various social events
• A warm fuzzy because you’ll help support and foster the idea that great advertising and design doesn’t know geography. United Adworkers is dedicated to not only keeping the talent we have in the Milwaukee market, but also attracting the attention of talented individuals across the country.
• Discounts at various participating restaurants and bars.
• A feeling of superiority over people in markets such as Chicago, Minneapolis, and Madison (to name a few) that have interest in being part of this club or have inquired when we were coming to their markets.
• Becoming a better lover. Through Adworkers, you will become more inspired in your work, which means less tension at the office, which leads to less stress at home and ultimately, more confidence in the bedroom (or whatever room you may be partial to).

For all of these reasons, and several we aren’t legally allowed to list, download the 2009 Membership Form on the Join Us page, complete it and fax it to Heidi. Or simply send a check with your email address to:

We have big plans for 2010.
Thank you for your continued support and dedication to a truly unique club!
