The Chicago Advertising Federation is a true Federation. An ally for our city and people. A not-for-profit industry group, run largely by volunteers from every facet of the industry. We were founded in 1905 and reinvent ourselves daily to unite, enable and serve Chicago’s diverse, growing, and innovative marketing and advertising community.
Ultimately, our goal is to create greater opportunities for all by celebrating, educating, guiding and inspiring our members to create the next big ideas.
