About the Texas Advertising Group
About Texas Advertising Group
Texas Advertising Group (TAG) is the official student group for the Department of Advertising at University of Texas at Austin. TAG facilitates the relationship and continual conversation between advertising hopefuls and industry professionals. It holds weekly meetings at which agency leaders show their work, speak about ongoing trends in advertising, tips on getting a job, the day-to-day activities of life at an agency, and more.
In addition, TAG participates in volunteer events with agencies to promote networking and public service, hosts student trips to visit ad agencies in some of the most progressive cities in the country, and works closely with Austin Advertising Federation to link students to the local advertising industry.
TAG prides itself on the level of involvement from its members. TAG members are not only involved within the organization, but are also active leaders on campus and in the industry.

TAG socials are held monthly at local popular restaurants, the movies, a bowling alley, and just about anywhere you can imagine. Socials are free to all members and serve as a breather from the fast-paced personality of classes and the ad industry while meeting and interacting with other members. For more information, please contact the Social Chair.
TAG also boasts a Resume Book which, every semester, is compiled of the 20 most active TAG members' and officers resumes. The resume book is sent to over thirty local and national agencies with whom TAG has a great relationship. Generally, the Resume Book recipients are ex-TAGgers who look forward to the receiving this book every semester for recruiting purposes. This is one of the highlights of TAG membership, and is a great way to get involved. Resume Book Points are rewarded based on involvement in TAG’s volunteering events, special trips, contest participation, meeting attendance, as well as agency visits. To see resume books from past semesters, please visit the Resume Book Archive. For more information, please contact the Resume Book Chair.
TAG has had a long history of volunteering and cooperative teamwork with the Austin Advertising Federation and local advertising agencies. This semester, TAG members have volunteered for Art From the Streets, EnviroMedia's Trash-Off, the Austin Addy's and more. These volunteer opportunities allow students to interact with advertising professionals while working for a greater cause. For more information, please contact the Volunteer Coordinator.
