Change is good!

The Flint Area Advertising Federation has officially changed its name to the American Advertising Federation – Greater Flint (AAFGF). We feel the name change will establish a consistent brand image with our national affiliate and elevate the prominence of our local organization. The name change also allows the ad club to co-band with the national American Advertising Federation (AAF) and its network of 210 clubs nationwide.

We are joining with more than half of the other local advertising clubs across the country in the drive to unify with our national brand. Our hope is that the name change will allow us to become more recognizable to members of the advertising community, in and around the Flint and Genesee County (Michigan) areas as well as help us gain more representation nationally.
