The Association of National Advertisers (ANA)

Decideware’s strong & ongoing relationship with the Association of National Advertisers (The ANA)

Decideware’s clients are the ANA’s Members.

 We serve the same people; Marketing Procurement, Marketers, Procurement & Finance and Senior Leadership in the largest advertisers in America.

As such, we’ve invested time, energy and money in building and maintaining a close working relationship with the ANA over many years. We first sponsored the ANA’s Financial Management Conference in 2009 and we’ve opened, presented at and/or exhibited every year since. And frankly, we’ve also had a lot of fun with our industry colleagues in the agency management business.

These efforts have perhaps, in some small part, helped to grow attendees numbers from 100+ back in the day to 700+ in 2019. We’ve authored dozens of thought leadership articles and hosted my presentations, here is a brief summary of how we’ve engaged to help educate ANA members more recently:
