Advertising: Industry Associations

About Industry Associations

Industry associations often provide:

  • industry news
  • profiles
  • trends
  • statistics
  • legislation & regulations
  • member directories
  • research reports
  • lists of events or tradeshows
  • consumer trends and analysis

CARDOnline is an online directory resource which contains brief information on over 80 media associations in Canada including advertising associations.

Use Google or another search engine to search for industry associations relevant to your industry in your location. You can also search the library database Associations Canada.

If you don't find a relevant industry association, try broadening your geographic area (e.g. from Toronto to Ontario, or from Canada to the U.S. or international).

If your industry is very specialized or new, look for associations for broader or similar industries.
