The 4A’s offers a customized membership designed especially for colleges and universities with advertising and advertising-related curricula.

Designed with the goal of providing colleges and universities with the information they need to create up-to-date curricula, as well as for faculty and students conducting research, this membership package provides schools with access to the 4A’s extensive online research tools and resources, including:

• AMIGO (Advertising, Marketing, Industry, Global—Online), a full-text database of articles about companies and brands with a marketing focus;
• BUDDY (Business Demographics and Data for You!), a tool to generate detailed demographic tables and household spending charts for any US geographic entity down to zip code level; and
