Career Day 2003

Anthony Hemsey

Once again it’s time for the Ad Club’s annual Career Day at Montclair State University. Set for Thursday, October 23, this year’s 14th edition, entitled “Power Up! Change from the Norm to the Extraordinary,” features keynote speaker Anthony Hemsey, director of Anthem Portfolio Institute.

Creates one-of-a-kind artistic center
After amassing an impressive body of work with leading New York agencies such as Deutsch, Rapp Collins and Cline Davis, Hemsey and his partners formed API in late 2001 — New Jersey’s first dedicated development center for the professional artist. Hemsey continues
to challenge himself, his partners and clients to be better than yesterday. Whether he’s writing copy, crafting the perfect advertising class or volunteering for the Ad Council campaign for the New York City School System, Hemsey works with passion and energy.
