The Suncoast chapter of the American Advertising Federation (AAF) is welcoming three advertising industry professionals to Sarasota on March 19th for an evening of discussion, drinks and refreshments. At Polo Grill in Lakewood Ranch, the judges from the recent local Advertising Awards will be joining the local organization to speak about their experiences in a panel discussion about the role of creativity in digital media.

More than 118 Professional ADDY Awards were presented to Southwest Florida creative agencies and businesses, including 3 Judge’s Choice awards and 14 AMY Awards for the highest scoring entry in each major professional category.

The American Advertising Federation conducts the American Advertising Awards, formerly known as the ADDYs. It is the industry's largest competition, attracting more than 40,000 entries every year.

After much consideration, the AdFed Suncoast selected the Mental Health Community Centers (MHCC) last week as its American Advertising Federation (AAF) Suncoast Public Service Client for the 2014-15 year. AdFed Suncoast will provide marketing, design, and broadcast services to the MHCC as a meaningful volunteer opportunity for our membership.
