The American Academy of Advertising (AAA) is an organization of advertising scholars and professionals with an interest in advertising and advertising education. The Academy fosters research that is relevant to the field and provides a forum for the exchange of ideas among its academic and professional members. If you are an advertising professional or an academic or student in advertising, journalism, business, mass communication, or a related field, the Academy invites your membership.

"For advertising scholars, AAA is the home base for academic growth, knowledge generation, global insight, networking, and the shared mission of educating the next generation of advertising scholars. Members span diverse institutions, academic networks, continents, disciplines and modes of inquiry, but AAA is the one home that we return to from graduate student to emeritus.” (Strategic Plan, June 2017)
