AAF Tampa Bay exists to support its members, the community and the advertising industry. Its mission is to promote fellowship, education and career enhancement among members of the advertising community; foster and recognize excellence in advertising; champion public service causes; build an understanding of the role and benefits of advertising at all levels; and encourage advertising self-regulation and continuous improvement to raise industry benchmarks, its Web site shows. The organization serves advertising professionals from the Tampa Bay community, including Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Citrus and Hernando counties.

AAF Tampa Bay is a chapter of the American Advertising Federation, which was established in 1967 when two regional advertising organizations joined forces. AAF is headquartered in Washington and has an office in San Francisco. It represents more than 50,000 advertising men and women in all industry segments, working together to achieve the AAF mission.
