The Triple Door

We're two dates into a summer series of office crawls, organized by Brian Rauschenbach of Add3 and SIC. So far the hosts have gone all out, sprucing up their spaces and rallying with refreshments.

Even with this year's focus on more quality time through fewer spaces per event we're still finding ourselves running long at each location because we're having too much fun to leave. So of course each night runs way over. Fine with us.

Don't miss crawling with our #AAFPosse on the next one, June 25th in Pioneer Square.

And thanks to all the event participants so far, from the agencies to the crawlers, for making it so fun.

#AAFPosse Returns for Summer 2014

SeaTech Connect is back this summer with its series of agency crawls, and AAF Seattle is ready. We'll organize our own #AAFPosse for each of the six outings, giving our members, fans and interested parties a crew to crawl with.

This year there will be three agencies each night, ending at one bar, giving us all a chance to spend more time in each place with less running between agencies. That equals better networking, which is kind of the point.

Whether you join us from the start or catch up with us as we go, you can find us via our check-ins on Foursquare (which we'll mirror to Twitter using #AAFPosse). We'll be the group having a great time.

The first crawl is on Capitol Hill, May 14th, with others spread throughout the summer. We've got them all in our events calendar and in Foursquare lists, and we'll be promoting in advance via social, particularly our LinkedIn group.

New to AAF Seattle? Join in. It's a great way to get to know us!

RSVP and get more info on the SeaTech Connect Meetup page.

Posse Up!

Over the course of the year we throw a lot of events, from Speaker Series to After Hours to the ADDY Awards and so on, but it turns out we also love going to events, and this little creative boom town is just full of meetups, parties and panels for every interest, broad and narrow.

We decided it would be fun to coordinate small groups from our own consituency to attend some of these great events held by other local organizations. Kind of a way to get people exposed to cool things, support our friends, and represent AAF Seattle while we're sharing some drinks and participating. And thus the AAF Posse was born.

We started with a small group attending the SeaTech Connect agency crawl on Capitol Hill in July. We've done more than a few outings since then, including the TechCrunch party, an AIGA event at Deloitte Digital, and another agency crawl in Pioneer Square. Attendance is fluid with people coming and going over the course of the evening and we always seem to pick up a few curious onlookers while we're at it.

We coordinate in advance through our LinkedIn group, then during the event through mobile updates via Foursquare, which we share to Twitter, as well as posts on Instagram that also broadcast to our social platforms, all using the #AAFPosse hashtag.

A huge part of what AAF Seattle is all about is connecting our community with creative opportunities, and AAF Posse has been a great way to bring that ideal to life.
