The Orange County chapter of the American Advertising Federation was established in 1968, and continues to operate today to elevate Orange County's advertising community, through the support of our Board of Directors, volunteers and members. We are committed to our mission, to protect and promote the wellbeing of the advertising industry through our government relationships, to provide thought leadership to our members through innovative programming, to attract top talent by supporting and growing future industry leaders via our affiliation with Ad 2 SoCal, to foster diversity in advertising, and to honor advertising excellence. We’re a proud member of the American Advertising Federation (AAF). Headquartered in Washington, DC, the AAF is the “Unifying Voice for Advertising,” with 140+ local clubs across the U.S. representing over 35,000 advertising professionals, connecting and leading the industry.
