Directories & Outside Resources
No single organization can contain every useful source of advertising and marketing knowledge. The AAMA Directories & Outside Resources section helps professionals, students, academics, researchers, and organizations find credible external resources from across the industry.
The collection brings together professional associations, academic organizations, government data sources, research organizations, trade publications, advertising archives, historic collections, museums, conferences, awards programs, certification providers, consumer data sources, economic resources, and other organizations that contribute to the advertising and marketing profession.
Rather than presenting a simple list of links, AAMA directories are designed to explain what each resource provides, who it may be useful for, and when it is worth consulting. The goal is to make finding credible information faster while introducing members and visitors to resources they may not otherwise discover.
