The American Advertising Federation (AAF) is a collection of 420 professional clubs and college chapters that promote and uphold advertising industry standards nationwide. AAF Suncoast, formerly known as AdFed Suncoast, is the voice for interests spanning Sarasota, Manatee, Desoto, Highlands, Charlotte, and Hardee counties.

Our board members and committee chairs are the faces advocating for a stronger regional advertising industry. AAF Suncoast’s leadership team includes creative directors, graphic artists, marketing and communications professionals, digital designers, past AAF district leadership and more.

We celebrate and highlight businesses year-round across our five-county region. AAF Suncoast achieves that goal by inviting industry professionals to participate in monthly networking events, resourceful speaking engagements, quarterly AAF conferences and awards ceremonies recognizing advertisers’ creative work.
