Advertising Financial Management Committee
The Advertising Financial Management Committee explores efficiencies, cost savings, return on investment and bringing better value to members’ organizations. Participants on this committee have varied job responsibilities including: financial managers working with advertising/marketing; procurement/sourcing specialists; and members within general marketing and advertising management.
This committee helps program the annual ANA Advertising Financial Management Conference, next planned for May 4-7, 2014 in Naples, FL.
Many members of this committee are active participants in the ANA Procurement Task Force-a group dedicated to elevating the role of marketing procurement. The task force is engaged in mentoring, the development of case studies and white papers that focus on the value and positive contributions of marketing procurement, and a webinar series for marketing procurement professionals.
