The AAAA is the national trade association representing the advertising agency business in the United States.

Although virtually all of the large, multinational agencies are members of the AAAA, more than 60 percent of our membership bills less than $10 million per year.

The AAAA is not a club. It is a management-oriented association that offers its members the broadest possible services, expertise and information regarding the advertising agency business.The average AAAA agency has been a member for more than 20 years, and a dozen agencies can trace their memberships back to the group of 111 agencies that founded the AAAA in 1917.
