Membership is open to more than just advertising professionals! From vendors and educators to students and in-house pros, we provide unique opportunities for everyone to connect, learn and grow. Immediately, you’ll get an all-inclusive pass to all socials and thought-leadership programs. Did we mention discounted entries to compete in the American Advertising Awards?
Joining AAF means joining forces with Tampa’s top agencies, marketing departments, production companies and beyond throughout the Bay Area.
Your AAF membership includes event admissions, discounted awards show entries, access to members-only perks through your local chapter, and a slew of national and district-wide discounts. Check it out.
EVENTS & PROGRAMING
In addition to your local chapter’s networking events, educational programs, and get-togethers, you can join us for our ongoing district-wide thought leadership series, ADitude, and other renowned speakers from the national AAF. See what’s coming up on news and events.
AWARD ENTRIES
The first time you enter the American Advertising Awards, your membership pays for itself, because AAF members can enter the industry’s largest awards show at a significant discount. As a member, you can also participate in the annual district-wide Angel Awards that honor the best of public service advertising across Florida and the Caribbean.
MEMBER DISCOUNTS
As an AAF member, you get discounts on supplies, services, travel, and more from our partner organizations. On top of these national discounts, your local chapter may have additional benefits from local supporters.
GOVERNMENT RELATIONS
One of the most valuable member benefits of AAF is having a voice in state and national government through our nationwide network of advertising professionals. From grassroots activities to lobbying on Capitol Hill, we do what it takes to help build a more unified and productive industry. In fact, this year, we still held our annual Ad Day on the Hill from home with our Representatives and Senators in Tallahassee.
