SPONSOR AAF PITTSBURGH

Your next mentor, hire, or client is probably already one of us.

Pittsburgh’s advertising and marketing community helps businesses, nonprofits, and institutions across the region grow. AAF Pittsburgh is where that community finds each other, creating chances to learn, connect, share ideas, recognize great work, and push the profession forward.

Sponsor us, and your organization gets real, year-round visibility with the people shaping Pittsburgh’s advertising, marketing, media, design, and creative industries.

MEET PITTSBURGH’S CREATIVE COMMUNITY

The American Advertising Federation Pittsburgh is a not-for-profit built for advertising agencies, corporate marketing departments, media companies, production partners, freelancers, students, and every other kind of creative professional in the region.

We’re part of the American Advertising Federation, a national network founded in 1905 with about 200 local chapters and more than 40,000 members.

Locally, that’s nearly 300 members and about 2,400 active email subscribers across marketing, creative, digital, media, and production.

INVEST IN YOUR NEXT CREATIVE PARTNER

Meet the People Who Actually Make the Decisions

AAF Pittsburgh connects agencies, brands, media companies, production partners, PR firms, tech providers, and emerging talent. Sponsorship is a direct line to the people who influence purchasing, hiring, partnerships, and brand decisions across the region.

Your Next Hire Is Probably in This Room

Help build the future of Pittsburgh’s advertising industry. Sponsors get visibility with established professionals and the next generation of creative talent, while backing education, professional development, and workforce growth.

Show Up to celebrate who #wonanADDY. Mean It.

The American Advertising Awards celebrates the best work in the industry. Supporting it tells the market your organization values creativity, innovation, quality, and craft, not just says it does.

Join the Club That’s Been Doing This Since 1923

Founded in 1923, AAF Pittsburgh has served the region’s creative community for more than 100 years. Sponsors become part of a respected institution that keeps evolving, connecting people, and championing the profession.

More Than a Logo at One Event

AAF Pittsburgh sponsorship isn’t a one-night thing. Annual partners get ongoing exposure through events, email, social media, digital platforms, and member touchpoints all year long.

Bigger Than Pittsburgh (But Still Pittsburgh)

Our ties to the district and the national AAF give our community access to bigger events, programs, awards, and recognition well beyond the Pittsburgh market.
