45 Spectacular Years of ACE
Sponsored Feature
DON MCINTYRE founded the Advertising Club of Edmonton (ACE) over 45 years ago. His goal was to help the local advertising
industry gain prominence and give back to the community. Today, the spirit of ACE is as alive as it was in 1977.
With over 200 active members, ACE is one of Canada’s oldest and largest non-profit advertising clubs. Our community welcomes
professionals from advertising, marketing, and media—including student members.
ACE hosts a variety of public networking and industry events every year. Classic ACE events include speaker panels, professional development opportunities, the Ad Auction, ChristmACE, and of course, the ACE Awards. Students are welcome at all events and en- couraged to participate in our yearly Case Competition and Speed Mentorship Event.

The ACE Awards—An Annual Affair
An Edmonton tradition that celebrates advertising and marketing excellence in our city.
It’s the largest yearly gathering of advertis- ing, marketing, communications, and public relations professionals in our community. The awards provide an opportunity for local advertising professionals to showcase their outstanding work.
Submissions are judged against nation- al standards by a panel of internationally acclaimed judges. Held on April 27, 2024, the 45th ACE Awards recognized the smart- est, freshest, and most effective advertising ideas of the past year.
This year’s ACE Awards theme was Stu- dio 45. It celebrated the opening of two of the greatest clubs in the world—Studio 54 and the Ad Club of Edmonton. It was a tre- mendous party. Don would’ve been proud.

ACE could not exist without our valued members, sponsors, and generous donors.
Thank you for your kind support.
