Why Join?

The American Marketing Association is the essential community for marketers.

In 1953, Neil Borden transformed the business world when he articulated the strategy of “Marketing Mix” in his AMA presidential address. Borden was just one of many AMA leaders who were not satisfied with existing best practices. These thought leaders sought answers for the future that would propel business growth and elevate the role of marketing. The AMA strives to be the most relevant force and voice shaping marketing around the world, an essential community for marketers.
