Advisory Committee on Public Issues
The Advisory Committee on Public Issues advises the Ad Council on the nation’s most pressing social issues of the day. Comprised of leaders across media, nonprofit, research, academia, philanthropy, and public policy, this group serves as the incubator for all future Ad Council campaigns. During biannual meetings, the Advisory Committee helps the Ad Council identify gaps and emerging issues, evaluate potential new campaigns and recommend potential campaign sponsors. With their support, the Ad Council is able to prioritize the most important and relevant issues to address through the power of communications.
