WELCOME

Sponsored by 94.9 TNT, the American Advertising Federation of Tallahassee (AAFT) will host its annual media auction on Tuesday, Nov. 8, at 6 p.m. at the Southwood Clubhouse, 3750 Grove Park Drive.

This year’s theme is “Classy Country – Walk The Line with Johnny and Spend a Little Cash,” and the silent auction is open businesses, non-profits, advertising agencies, and anyone else who wants to bid on the items. Jason Taylor of 94.9 TNT will be the emcee for the event.

All proceeds will help benefit the American Advertising Federation of Tallahassee (AAFT), a 501(c)(3) educational non-profit that annually donates scholarships to Florida State University and Florida A&M University for advertising students, promotes the “Truth in Advertising Campaign,” and provides professional development for AAFT members.
“This provides an opportunity for smaller businesses and non-profit organizations, which may not have the advertising dollars that their counterparts do, to be able to afford real, quality ad space for a fraction of the price,” said AAFT President Lynsie Slachetka.

Media items already donated include Lamar billboard space, Schroeder Communications, On Call Computer Solutions, LocalEdge, Hearst Digital Media Services, Tallahassee Grapevine Marketing, DigitalOpps, Target Copy, Magic Moments DJ, plus many gift baskets and local gift cards.
