“We change the future of marketing in radical ways through our dedication and service to our community. Giving our time, effort, and resources to help reimagine the communities we’re a part of, to make them more reflective of who we are, is how we create change,” said AMA CEO, Bennie F. Johnson. “By being part of the global community on Giving Tuesday, we are working toward creating that positive impact and making the world a better place through our work.”
