Ad Club All-Access Auction

The New York Advertising Club’s All-Access Auction goes live online today at 11 a.m. through Oct. 4, with two additional offerings being auctioned at the club’s Stars of Madison Avenue luncheon that kicks off the industry’s annual Advertising Week confab.

The All Access Auction provides one-on-one access to well-known professionals in advertising and marketing from the agency, media and corporate arenas. Proceeds will benefit the club’s foundation, which funds educational initiatives, scholarships and mentoring programs for students looking to enter the business.

The highest bidder will have an all-expenses-paid breakfast, lunch or dinner with their “prize.” The opening bid for each is $500.

Today at the club’s annual Stars of Madison Avenue luncheon honoring the brands that support Broadway, two of the 29 offerings will be up for bid live. Matt Scheckner, president of Stillwell Partners and executive director of Advertising Week, will be the auctioneer and establish one winning bid for each (these will have multiple winners and will still be available for bid online through the week). They are:

 • KARAOKE, NORTH OF THE BORDER
