Advocacy
There’s only one group that protects your ability to do what you do on a daily basis. As advertisers and marketers, nobody else is going to watch out for our rights on local, state, and federal levels. From advocacy to lobbying to tax issues, it’s us. The AAF.
When we say we’re here to “Protect and promote the advertising industry on all levels,” that means educating policymakers, the news media, and the general public on the value that advertising brings to the well-being of the nation. We do this by advocating advertising as free speech protected by the First Amendment, actively promoting advertising as an essential industry, and by forming the National Advertising Review Board.
From grassroots activities to lobbying on Capitol Hill, we’re doing what it takes to protect advertisers everywhere through our nationwide network, which allows us quick mobilization. As a result, we’ve defeated taxes on advertising multiple times, and helped to stop over-reaching bills on advertisers’ rights to free speech. As a member of AAF-Louisville, you’ll have a friend in Frankfort and Washington, and access to regular legislative and government alerts.
