Adelaide Advertising Design Club to celebrate 50 year milestone with Studio 54 themed party on Thursday, November 20 – tickets on sale now
Fifty years ago, ten Adelaide art directors came together with a shared vision: to build a creative community that would support, inspire and celebrate its own. Today, Adelaide Advertising Design Club (AADC) stands as one of the longest-running creative communities in Australia – and it’s set to mark this milestone with a party worthy of the legacy on Thursday 20 November 2025.
Inspired by the legendary energy of Studio 54, this event will bring together five decades of creative brilliance, industry antics and unforgettable moments.
The enchanting Observatory 23 in Hackney will come alive with red-carpet energy and retrospective storytelling as industry legends, leaders and emerging talent alike come together to toast half a century of creativity and reminisce at the event’s industry showcase.
The Club is also partnering with South Australian distillery Prohibition Liquor Co. to bring a pop-up gin and cocktail bar to the party! Founded in 2015, Prohibition is well-loved and recognised internationally, having won over 250 awards for its spirits and packaging.
“AADC has built a reputation for throwing some of the industry’s most talked-about parties – and this one will be no exception,” says AADC Co-President Paul (PK) Kitching. “A 50th birthday only comes once and we’re making sure this one goes down in history.”
AADC Co-President Sarah Luthaus adds: “Whether you helped shape this industry or you’re just starting out, we’re inviting the people and personalities who built this community alongside the ones carrying it forward.”
If you’ve ever partied with AADC — or plan to in the future — this is the one you can’t miss. Attendees are encouraged to dress ready for a party in retro red carpet attire. Tickets are strictly limited and will sell out.
AADC has proudly partnered with ARN, Prohibition Liquor Co., South Ave, Your Say Group, Worldwide Norwood, Sundaye, Merlin and Topbunk to bring the party to life.
