business trade governances and industry accounting guidelines as set forth by
the following associations and regulatory bodies:
Association of National Advertisers (ANA)
The Association of National Advertisers (ANA) leads
the marketing community by providing its members insights, collaboration and
advocacy. ANA membership includes 400 companies with 9,000 brands that
collectively spend over $100 billion in marketing communications and
advertising. The ANA strives to communicate marketing best practices, lead
industry initiatives, influence industry practices, manage industry affairs,
and advance, promote and protect all advertisers and marketers. http://www.ana.net
American Association of Advertising Agencies (AAAA)
Founded in 1917, the American Association of
Advertising Agencies (AAAA) is the national trade association representing
advertising agencies in the United States and offers its members a broad
range of corporate services, expertise and information about the advertising
agency business sector. Its members produce approximately 80 percent of the
total advertising volume placed by agencies nationwide and although virtually
all large, multinational agencies are AAAA members, more than 60 percent of
its membership bills below $10 million per year.
Corporate Trade has been gaining momentum over the
last decade as more reputable companies set up shop and try to dispel some of
the past stigma associated with barter. Thus, a sensible approach to
corporate trade media can play an important role in the marketing and media
activities of some clients. When appropriate, a recommendation from the
agency to include corporate trade in the marketing plan can be an effective
way to solidify client relationships, create opportunities for the client,
and to generate new business. http://www.aaaa.org
