White+Partners, the DC area’s largest independent advertising and communications agency, proudly marks its silver anniversary as a member of the American Association of Advertising Agencies (4A's) in 2010.

“It’s incredible how the advertising landscape has changed since 1985 – between the industry’s consolidation under massive holding companies to the astounding advancements in technology – it’s been quite a journey so far,” says Matt White, Chairman & CEO of White+Partners. “The 4A's has been an invaluable management resource, giving our agency credibility within the industry and helping us to remain independent. We’re thrilled to be a part of this dynamic organization.”

As the national trade association of the advertising agency business, the core mission of the 4A's is to improve and strengthen the advertising agency business in the United States. With close to 1200 member agency offices that employ more than 65,000 people, the management-oriented association helps its members build their businesses, and acts as the industry’s spokesman with government, media, and the public sector.

“We are proud to have been part of White+Partners’ last 25 years,” says Nancy Hill, President and CEO of the 4A's. “Matt White and his partners are an important part of our membership body—representing everything our members stand for: commitment,passion and most of all, great work.”
