How to Contact ACA

We welcome your inquiries about ACA product and service offerings. If you would like to receive more details about the benefits of an ACA membership, please contact Susan Charles, Vice President, Member Services at (416) 964-3805/1-800-565-0109.

Membership in the ACA

Membership in the Association of Canadian Advertisers is available to companies carrying on business in Canada. Their products and services are advertised either regionally or nationally and their income is not derived principally from the sale of advertising facilities and services.

Application Process

We welcome all corporate applications for membership. When the decision to join ACA has been made, we will forward an application form. Upon receipt of the completed form, the ACA will issue an invoice for the annual membership fee, based on the indicated gross marketing communications budget and corresponding fee category. Once the member application is received, the name of the applicant is brought before the Board of Directors of the ACA for approval by a formal vote.

The Voting Member

All employees of a corporate ACA member are entitled to access all ACA product and service offerings, participate in ACA activities, contribute to the work of the association, attend a variety of courses, seminars and workshops and gain access to information and publications developed exclusively for ACA members.

Each company designates one individual who is the official corporate representative, or ACA voting member. That person receives all information and ACA correspondence related to changes in marketplace conditions, ACA initiatives, educational calendars, meeting notices, etc. That person also votes on ACA matters on behalf of the member company.

Fee Structure

The fee structure reflects a 13-tier level of payment, with the specific level the member pays being tied to its gross annual marketing communications budget.

The fee categories are published and remain in force during the ACA fiscal year, beginning July 1 and running to June 30 of the following year. The fee applied to your renewal would be in effect for the 12 months following your renewal date, which may fall in any month of the calendar year.
