The American Advertising Federation of Baltimore (AAFB) traces its roots back to 1918, originally established as the women's auxiliary to the men's Advertising Club. In 1920, the women formed their own organization, naming it the Women's Advertising Club of Baltimore. It was affiliated with the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, the predecessor to the modern-day American Advertising Federation.
Through the 40's, 50's, and 60's the club advocated vigorously for Truth in Advertising campaigns and the creation of a College Scholarship Foundation. In 1973, the Women's Advertising Club pioneered a merger with two other Baltimore advertising groups, The Art Director's Club and the Maryland Industrial Marketers, becoming the Advertising Association of Baltimore.
