...there are "about 50,200 advertising agencies" of any size in the United States. Unreal. AAB has a community of 763 agencies who have participated either as judges, profiled agencies, or entrants in our agency creative contests.
In our series, Exploring American Ad Agencies, we hope you learn a little more about the great variety of creativity and skill out there, and if you are an agency client reading this, perhaps taking advantage of these resources.

To feature your agency:
AAB has 5 geographic regions, each with 10 to 16 cities represented. In each city there are 10 to 20 agencies featured.
Each agency is shown either by name or by an agency profile (image of their home page and connection links).
Check your agency listing, and email me at greg@aabshowcaseawards.com to create your agency profile. AAB judges are 50% clients, so if you want to raise awareness, AAB is happy to help.
Special thanks:
AAB is rebranding. We will be transitioning to "Agency Contest." Firehouse Agency out of Dallas
is helping the rebrand process by becoming our first city sponsor.
If your agency would like to help us by sponsoring your own city page, email me at greg@aabshowcaseawards.com
Call for Agency Contest entries:
AAB accepts entries in 10 creative contests year round. Entry remains free for now. With the
rebranding to Agency Contest, and the publicity that is to come from this change, we feel agency work will get a great deal of fresh attention.
Here are the requirements to enter work:
Work must be accessible online at a U.S. ad agency of at least two employees (not freelance or spec)
Entry is as simple as emailing me the url at entry@aabshowcaseawards.com. We take care of all the design work and provide you with a proof to approve.
It's that simple!
Our intention:
AAB wants to make creatives and clients aware of the great work that is being done everyday by small and midsized creative shops across the country.
We are not in this to get rich, but to find a fun way (creative contests) to build and support the creative community so that clients can find and
hire the best and the brightest.
You are invited to enter and judge all of our contests.
Enjoy!
Greg Clow, Director AAB
