Who We Are

About AAF Buffalo

Buffalo ad agencies, production houses, in-house marketers, freelancers, artists, students: we've heard a lot about one another, but AAF Buffalo is where we meet each other.

AAF Buffalo is, by formal definition, an advertising club that's a local chapter of the American Advertising Federation, the nation’s oldest and most recognized organization in the advertising industry. But we are so much more than an ad club. We are passionate people from all different marketing, advertising and art backgrounds working to keep the kick-ass creative community here in WNY thriving. Where workshops, and national speakers, and student experiences, and networking events empower your voice and inspire your mind. AAF Buffalo is where students get hired. And where peers have become business partners. And you, no matter what industry level, become better.
