List of Certified Diverse Suppliers

This recently updated list of certified diverse suppliers for marketing and advertising helps you use women-owned, ethnic/minority-owned, veteran-owned, LGBTQ-owned, disability-owned, and small businesses as suppliers.

The ANA Advertising Financial Management Committee

The ANA Advertising Financial Management Committee explores efficiencies, cost savings, return on investment, and bringing better value to members' organizations. 

The Agency Search and Selection Playbook

The agency search and selection process takes a lot of planning, meeting time, and strategic focus. With guidance for that process becoming increasingly important, this four-part playbook covers all the stages of the agency search and selection process, including how it should be handled during times of national crisis such as a pandemic.

The Growth of Supplier Diversity

A supplier diversity program is a proactive business program that encourages the use of women-owned, ethnic/minority-owned, veteran-owned, LGBTQ-owned, disability-owned, and small businesses as suppliers. The Growth of Supplier Diversity, based on both quantitative and qualitative research, provides a deep dive into supplier diversity in marketing and advertising, covering benefits, challenges, spend, goals, and measurement.

Payment Terms: Current Practices

Results from a recent ANA initiated survey and highlighted in this report are clear: payment term changes, notably extended terms — which have been most noted with agency fees, research, and production — are reflective of a broader trend.
