    About Us

    ACA is the peak professional non-profit industry body representing companies in the
    Australian advertising industry. Our purpose is to foster the long-term prosperity of the
    advertising industry and our vision is to make advertising the most valued professional
    services industry in Australia. We do this through three core pillars – People Development,
    Champion Creativity and Demonstrate Value.

    ACA owns and organises two of the industry's biggest and most highly regarded award
    programs within the advertising sector as well as a newly established creative conference
    and some smaller 'grassroots' events for members. The key awards programs are:

    • AWARD Awards – The Australasian Writers and Art Directors (AWARD) was
      established in 1978 with the inaugural AWARD Awards held in 1979. AWARD Awards
      is the most prestigious advertising creative award show in the region and attract
      approximately 1,500 entries in the following categories: Advertising, Design, Craft,
      Film & Entertainment, Purpose, Innovation, Media and Strategy.
    • This Way Up, AWARD's signature festival of creativity in Sydney. Held across three
      days at the Museum of Contemporary Art, the festival includes speaker events,
      workshops, nightly functions, education and the AWARD Awards ceremonies.
    • Effie Awards – ACA also organises the Australian Effie Awards. Effie is a global
      organisation that celebrates the very best of advertising effectiveness. The annual
      Effie Awards recognise the year's most effective advertising and marketing
      communications campaigns – campaigns that have delivered superior results in
      meeting the objectives they were designed to achieve. They are widely regarded as
      the most prestigious awards in the Australian Marketing Communications industry.
      The award presentation event is on October 10th this year.
