Who says designers are too old for field trips? 👀

RSVP with AAF Augusta to join us for a visit to The at AU, part of the Georgia Cyber Innovation & Training Center. It’s a space built for creativity and innovation—with a fabrication lab, hacker space, and collaboration space all in one.

Augusta is full of creative talent—and it’s time we shine a light on it.

AAF Augusta is launching a new spotlight series highlighting the agencies, studios, creative teams, and freelancers shaping the work in our city. From branding and campaigns to storytelling and strategy, there’s a lot happening here, and it deserves to be seen.

Our goal is simple: celebrate the people behind the work, support local businesses, and strengthen the creative community we’re all a part of.

Keep an eye out as we start featuring agencies across Augusta on our socials and newsletter. You might discover a new collaborator, a new opportunity, or just a deeper appreciation for the work happening right here at home.

If you’re part of an agency or a freelancer and want to be featured, we’d love to connect.

Creatives, let’s talk about it.

Not every season is your most inspired. Not every idea hits. And sometimes, you just feel… off. That’s part of it.

Join us this Friday for our Creative Coffee Roundtable as we get real about what it looks like to pick yourself back up after a creative dip. We’ll also dive into what community and engagement actually mean for us as designers, beyond the buzzwords.

See you at Cavalier’s Coffeehouse at 8am.

🌭🔥 From the grill to the ‘gram! Let’s talk summer cravings and killer campaigns.

This month’s Creative Coffee Roundtable is serving up a sizzling topic: “Summer Advertising from the Grill to the ‘Gram.”

From hot dogs to hard seltzers, summer is prime time for food and beverage brands—but it’s not just about what’s on the grill. We’ll dig into how brands tap into the taste of summer to spark engagement and create moments, even if they’re not in the food game.

Join us this Friday at Cavalier’s Coffeehouse for coffee, conversation, and creative insight.

☕️ Creative Coffee Roundtable is a recurring meetup hosted by AAF Augusta every 1st Friday of the month, open to all creatives, marketers, and idea lovers.

Whether your celebration is loud or lowkey, let's gather and share the rituals that refill our creative cups.
