About The Communications Council

The Communications Council is a new organisation bringing together the AFA, AWARD, the Account Planning Group (APG) and the Australasian Promotional Marketing Association (APMA).

The Council creates a footprint across the increasingly integrated world of creative, digital, healthcare, design, direct marketing, promotion, PR, plus creative production companies and strategic planning consultancies.

The new body combines the strengths, expertise and knowledge of the three organisations. Based on the concept of ‘together stronger’ it champions a proactive and united industry approach that faces up to the increasingly restrictive regulatory creep.

We help grow member businesses and develop individual careers through the provision of professional development services, advocacy and support.
 
Existing membership fees, both corporate and individual, remain in place across all three organisations. As the communications industry’s not-for-profit peak body, the Council encompasses over 4,500 individuals from more than 200 agencies and consultancies.
