About Us

Advertising & Design Club Türkiye (ADC*T) is an independent creativity and design club established to connect Türkiye’s creative industries with international creative networks. ADC*T serves as the official representative in Türkiye of Art Directors Club Europe (ADCE), one of Europe’s leading creative organizations, and The One Club for Creativity, one of the world’s most influential creative communities.

Believing in the transformative power of creativity, design, communication, and cultural production, ADCT aims to serve as a common meeting point for advertisers, designers, strategists, creative leaders, students, and emerging talent. More than simply offering a community experience, ADCT seeks to build a living ecosystem that provides its members with opportunities for education, international access, professional development, and creative visibility.

The organization’s primary goal is to contribute to the creation of internationally recognized work by combining Türkiye’s rich traditions of craftsmanship, aesthetics, and production with today’s creative technologies.

To realize this vision, ADC*T is built upon four core pillars:

• Building and nurturing creative communities
• Developing educational programs
• Providing access to national and international awards and competitions
• Establishing connections with global creative networks

With Istanbul’s centuries-old cultural heritage and tradition of creative production at its core, ADCT aims to position Türkiye once again as an international reference point in the fields of communication arts and creativity. ADCT is not merely an organization that celebrates outstanding work; it is a movement dedicated to fostering a culture of creativity, supporting the next generation of talent, and shaping the future of Türkiye’s creative industries.

Committed to aligning Türkiye’s creative potential with international standards, ADCT is shaped by the contributions of experienced creative leaders, communication professionals, academics, and entrepreneurs. The Founding Board and Advisory Board, which guide the strategic direction of the organization, bring together respected figures from across Türkiye’s creative ecosystem to support and advance ADCT’s vision.
