Kansas City is one of the best advertising cities in the U.S.

Welcome to kcaaaa.org. We've developed this site because we want advertising professionals from other markets (and maybe some clients as well) to discover the Kansas City advertising community. As Tom Finneran, Executive Vice President of the 4A's put it, "Kansas City is a vibrant accomplished advertising market nestled in a hard working user friendly community. Advertising professionals who want to balance a dynamic and rewarding career with an affordable lifestyle in a progressive environment need to consider KC."

We want to encourage people who are passionate about advertising to join us and to take advantage of a growing business, in a growing market. We want you to know about our 4A's member agencies, what we stand for, our values, the kind of creative product we deliver. We want you to know the clients we represent, the charities we help, the training and careers we offer. We want to show you our great city and explain why it has been described as one of the few livable cities left.

What makes the Kansas City market so good? Well, to the 4A's and its Kansas City Region agency group, Kansas City still enjoys the kind of close, proud, and interactive advertising marketplace that many other major cities seem to have lost. There are fewer secrets and more sharing here. People really talk to each other without the fear of crossing forbidden competitive boundaries. Kansas City agencies still congratulate each other for jobs well done.

While our diverse agency group represented over a billion dollars worth of advertising last year, there is still an entrepreneurial and non-corporate spirit that seems to drive us all. Take a look. We think you'll like what you see.
