Highlights from Our 10 Year Birthday Bash
To celebrate 10 years within our industry we mixed a little bit of history with a little bit of fun…and a little bit of an award show – just for kicks. The industry came out in full force to celebrate our TEN years in existence. And celebrate we did! In addition to partying the night away, we recognized ten incredible Ad Loungers who have left a lasting mark on the industry... and on the Ad Lounge community. These folks have continued to inspire and support us along our journey to the present.
