16 Reasons (continued)

9. Production-Wise

Broadcast and print production issues raise many questions, even for the most experienced agencies. Our Production Services Group has the answers and supplies them to members. Topics cover the gamut from production procedures to talent payment and union relations to advertising legal affairs. In 1987, this group began the annual Television Production Costs Survey, which has helped clients and agencies become more aware of ways to achieve production cost efficiencies. A similar survey of print production costs was begun in 1989. This group participates with the A.N.A. every three years in the SAG/AFTRA talent union contract negotiations.

10. Committed to Diversity

By the year 2005, at least 40 percent of the American population will be non-white. AAAA member agencies are committed to increasing diversity among their professional employees by recruiting people who understand the needs of a diverse America.

AAAA member agencies are committed to promoting the valuable role advertising plays in creating brand loyalty, reducing consumer churn, and improving advertisers' return on investment represented by advertising spending.
