War Advertising Council

The War Advertising Council, now known as the Ad Council, was established during World War II to promote public service messages aimed at supporting the war effort. It coordinated advertising campaigns that encouraged citizens to conserve resources, support troops, and contribute to various war-related initiatives. The Council brought together advertising professionals who donated their time and talent to create impactful messages. Today, the Ad Council continues to develop campaigns on social issues, such as health, safety, and education, leveraging the power of advertising to inform and inspire the public for the greater good.
