AAF Pensacola

AAF Pensacola is the local chapter of the American Advertising Federation, often called simply "AdFed." It is part of the AAF's 4th District, which includes more than 2,000 members in 20+ local ad clubs, AD2 clubs and college chapters in Florida and the Caribbean.

Every year the organization presents its ADDY Awards. Gold ADDY winners proceed to compete at the district level.

The organization was known as the West Florida Advertising Council for many years, changing to the West Florida Advertising Federation in 1999, and again to the Pensacola Bay Area Advertising Federation (similar to the Chamber's renaming) in 2004.
