AAF Charlotte is an extension of the Charlotte Community—a consortium of like-minded creative folks that are dedicated to advertising excellence in and around Charlotte. Quite simply, we're all committed to developing kick-ass creative for Charlotte, the Country, the Planet Earth and any other intergalactic entities who want the best, kick-ass creative possible! We're a non-profit professional trade association serving the Charlotte advertising community. Members of our association volunteer their time and talents to plan and execute many events throughout the year. We are an affiliate of the American Advertising Federation (AAF), a national organization empowered by 50,000 professionals in 220 professional advertising clubs, 220 college chapters and 110 corporations. The AAF works to advance the broad interests of the advertising industry, including the freedom to truthfully advertise legal products. The purpose of AAF Charlotte is to provide and promote a better understanding of the functions of advertising and of its values within the Carolinas. Our primary ambition is to promote good fellowship and a free exchange of ideas among our members.
