About Us

The AAMS (Association of Advertising and Marketing Singapore) was formed on 1 Nov 2019, merging both the 4As (Association of Accredited Advertising Agents Singapore, formed in 1948) and IAS (Institute of Advertising Singapore, formed in 1990).

We are proud to announce that AAMS now represents all aspects of Advertising, Marketing, Media Owners, and Marketing Communications.

Our team of industry experts has unrivaled experience in the advertising industry. We look forward to working with our partners and members to become the Regional Beacon for Marketing, Creativity, and Performance.

We have a series of established industry awards and annual events to recognize outstanding talents in advertising, media, and related fields to motivate those in the industry to achieve greater heights. Prominent among them are the Singapore Creative Circle Awards (the Gong), Singapore Media and Marketing Awards and the Crowbar Awards and Effie Awards.
