Appleton Creative Welcomes UF Ad Society to Experience Agency Life

Florida’s creative future is looking bright. When a group of sharp, motivated students from the University of Florida (UF) stopped by our headquarters, we knew we had to show them how we craft the juiciest creative around. Their visit gave us a fresh glimpse of the next wave of Gators eager to get their feet wet in the advertising world.

Greeting the Gators of UF’s Ad Society

Orlando got a splash of the swamp when UF’s Ad Society hit the road to meet Appleton for a peek behind the curtain of agency life. We may have different alma maters, but when it comes to great advertising, we’re all on the same team.

UF’s Ad Society comprises a chapter of the American Advertising Federation, the nation’s leading trade association for professional advertisers. Open to all majors, this interdisciplinary group helps students prepare to enter the world of advertising. Our team was thrilled to host these Gators and show them what it takes to thrive in such a fast-paced creative environment.

A Day in the Life at Appleton Creative

We gave UF’s Ad Society a front-row seat to life at Appleton and shared what it’s really like to work at an award-winning, full-service agency in the heart of Orlando.

During their visit, students explored our fully “in-house” agency, complete with apply-themed snacks, interactive art installations and conversations with our talented team members. They got an inside look at our creative process, saw some of our favorite client work, and heard some industry insights.

The day also included an in-depth presentation introducing Appleton’s team, diverse client roster and the collaborative approach that sets our agency apart. After switching activities, the groups reunited to share key takeaways, network with our team and ask any lingering questions. We wrapped up the day with a group photo to commemorate the visit.
