History
On the occasion of our 100th Anniversary in 2013, we posted this history of The Ad Club that was written a decade before by former Ad Club President, Charles E. Jackson. As you read on, you will understand that The Ad Club actually began forming in 1904, but not until February 26, 1913 did The Advertising Club of Greater Boston get the official seal of approval from the Commonwealth. We hope you enjoy the story behind all that The Ad Club of Boston has been and how it became what it is today.
