We’re people who make our livings in advertising and professional communications, along with students at area colleges and universities. AAF is a place to network with agencies, client-side marketing professionals, media, creatives, freelancers, and others who love this business. We host events ranging from the American Advertising Awards (the largest creative competition in the world) and educational programs to gatherings just for fun. We would love to welcome you to our AAF-SWFL family!
The American Advertising Awards competition, home of the ADDYⓇ, recognizes and rewards the creative spirit of excellence in the art of advertising. If you work in the 5-county Southwest Florida region, your recognition in the ad industry’s largest and most representative competition starts here.
The American Advertising Awards competition, home of the ADDYⓇ, recognizes and rewards the creative spirit of excellence in the art of advertising. It is the advertising industry’s largest and most representative competition, attracting over 30,000 entries every year. Watch this year’s show in its entirety right here to the right.
Concurrently, all across the country, local entrants vie to win ADDY Awards—recognition as the very best in our market. At the second tier, winners compete against winners from 16 other local clubs across Florida and Caribbean Islands in the AAF-Fourth District competition. District ADDY winners are then forwarded to the third tier, the national stage of the American Advertising Awards.
Entering the American Advertising Awards supports the entire advertising industry, because the AAF, AAF-Fourth District and AAF-SWFL use the proceeds to enhance advertising through programs such as public service, internships, advocacy groups, advertising education, and consumer awareness.
Connect with a diverse community of SWFL advertising industry peers who actively engage in local, district, and national initiatives.
Our nationwide network monitors ad-related legislation on local, state, and federal levels so your business remains free to thrive.
Advance your career by accessing our invaluable resources, connections, awards, programs, and educational opportunities.
Fort Myers, FL: AAF-SWFL Past President, Past AAF District 4 Governor, and AAF Silver Medalist Wendy
In October 2018 I attended a District 4 conference in Daytona Beach and began to discuss with then Governor, Wendy Payton ways to reactive the Southwest Florida chapter. I never thought that almost three years later that we not only would restart AAF Southwest Florida but create a nationally recognized powerhouse of membership development, programs, public service, and club operations.
