Top 5 Reasons to Join

Looking for a reason to join the CAF? Here’s five reasons (besides the award thing) to join this year:

#1 Networking and Resources

Canton Advertising Federation (CAF) brings advertisers, agencies, media, suppliers and academia together in one place. Members can mingle with more than 150 local professionals in the industry at:

• • Casual networking mixers;
• • Professional education events;
• • Socials and fundraisers;
• • The ADDY^® Awards and more.

Members (and potential customers) can also network using CAF’s Facebook page or LinkedIn Group. Plus you’ll receive a dynamic listing in our Ad Fed Member Directory with a description of the services you or your organization offers.

#2 National AAF Association

As part of the American Advertising Federation (AAF) – the nation’s oldest and largest advertising trade association with 40,000 members – CAF is committed to peer and industry leadership and recognition, industry and government advocacy and multi-cultural initiatives on local, regional and national levels.

#3 Professional Development

CAF programs feature regional leaders in technology, creativity and marketing who are willing to share their experience and vision with members.

#4 Public Service

Each year CAF members share their time and talents on a project that benefits our local community.

#5 College Connections

CAF actively supports students at area colleges and universities who want to pursue careers in advertising and marketing. From group activities to an annual scholarship, CAF nurtures the industry’s future professionals and leaders.

And, of course, let’s not forget the ADDYs. Planning for the ADDY^® Awards is headed up by three chairpersons, guaranteeing the event will be bigger and better than ever. Entrants have the potential to advance to regional and national ADDY^® competitions sponsored by the AAF.

So, join, belong and thrive! If you have any questions or need more information, contact our Membership Chairman.
