Across every benchmark and measurement, we met or exceeded expectations. We generated substantial business and leadership momentum, and our progress is coming at increasing rates. This upbeat assessment is sourced from several fundamental areas: • Substantial growth in our industry leadership agenda across all platforms. The ANA’s leadership in areas such as marketing organization, agency relations, talent negotiations, advertising taxes, privacy, self-regulation, industry measurement, online piracy, and patent trolling has become an integral part of our growing legacy. Whenever there is an industry issue or opportunity, the question always seems to be: Is the ANA involved? This is a clear testament to the ANA’s overarching strength and ability to bring positive change to our ecosystem. Bob Liodice • Extraordinarily healthy business operations. The ANA’s strength is grounded in a core of “growth.” And that growth is a reflection of our devotion to quality. That is why every ANA product and service is growing, and why membership engagement continues to hit new highs. As such, total membership continues to expand, with 2013 growth of more than 13 percent. Financially, our operating income exceeded $2 million for the fourth consecutive year, reaching a record high of $2.8 million in 2013. These resources are redeployed to fuel future membership satisfaction, to expand products and services, and to pursue targeted leadership initiatives — all of which elevate our prospects for long-term growth and overall membership success. • Bolder business strategies for long-term success. The ANA continued to expand its reach, as members want us to fulfill evolving expectations across a wide, diverse, and complex ecosystem. To do that, we broadened our business model. We now look to external partners for marketing intellectual capital while concurrently pursuing initiatives to strategically strengthen our portfolio. We want to build new operating models and consistently sharpen our focus to meet the changing needs of our membership. This requires increasing quality and levels of staff, investments in technology, improvements in marketing and communications, and an expansive strategic approach. Our members have benefitted materially through: The addition of Effie and Mobile Marketing Association case histories to our marketing capital Our collaboration with MarketShare and the addition of the Marketing Analytics Leadership Award Our partnership with The Internationalist 1000, expanding our global marketing coverage The delivery of valuable marketing tools and templates via Demand Metric The incredible outcome of our partnership with EffectiveBrands to bring one of the most storied studies to our industry, Marketing2020 The unique insights and marketing perspectives of our Strategic and Thought Leadership partners We are very proud of our accomplishments, and look forward to addressing the challenges before us. We are ready to deliver what our members need: marketing excellence and an organization that will shape the industry’s future. We believe we have the membership strength, financial resources, and leadership platforms to accelerate our momentum even further. We are excited about working with our friends to advance the industry and bring continued growth to all our members in 2014. Bob Liodice | President and CEO ANA 2013 Annual Report — Leadership and Marketing Excellence | 3 Message from the COO The ANA wraps up its 103rd year of service to the marketing community on a strong operational and financial footing — a footing that provides us with the resources to advance the interests of marketers and empower them to shape the future of marketing. The ANA actively supports members by helping them identify the insights, tools, and industry forums that enable them to become leaders in marketing excellence. This support comes to life via a wide range of products and services: Christine Manna • The richest content library in the industry, with more than 8,000 research reports, case studies, insight briefs, and other carefully curated content items to keep marketers fully informed on the latest trends, best practices, and growth opportunities • Market-leading collaborative forums like the annual Masters of Marketing Conference; our major national conferences on topics like media leadership, real-time marketing, and multicultural marketing; and targeted discipline-specific committees where members can meet their peers and tackle topics of immediate professional interest • Continual learning and professional development through our School of Marketing’s wide range of training courses and onsite seminars • Speaking with the combined weight of 570 member firms — top brands and marketers all — in regulatory and governmental conversations of critical importance to our industry now and in the future We address this mission through a resolute focus on two core principles: value and quality. Creating value at all points of contact — from our member companies to our partners to the marketing industry as a whole — allows us to deliver on those guiding principles. As part of our focus on service, the ANA continually looks for opportunities to support the overall industry, whether addressing concerns over Internet domain names, helping lead talent payment negotiations, defeating advertising tax legislation, or improving the marketing supply chain. These initiatives benefit everyone — clients, agencies, and service providers alike. 2013 has been our strongest year on record, both financially and operationally. We exceeded our goals in terms of membership growth, member engagement, and member satisfaction. And once again, our strong performance was driven by the outstanding execution of our employees, deeper relationships with our members and partners, and a broadening portfolio of products and services. During the year we made investments in new products and services, added additional staff to support our memberfacing services and industry initiatives, and expanded and revitalized our office and technology infrastructure. Our philosophy is to reinvest in our products and services, and that will continue in the coming year. We will also continue to fund a variety of industry leadership initiatives that support cross-functional needs, such as measurement and consumer privacy. Our focus in 2014 is simple: carry on our strategy to advance marketing excellence through the leadership insights, collaboration, training, and services that our members and the overarching marketing industry need to succeed. Christine Manna | COO and CFO 4 | www.ana.net Corporate Highlights “The ANA actively supports members by helping them identify the insights, tools, and industry forums that enable them to become leaders in marketing excellence.” — Christine Manna ANA ANA2013 2013Annual AnnualReport Report— —Leadership Leadershipand andMarketing Marketing Excellence Excellence || 5 Membership 2013 Overview ANA membership achieved two historic milestones in 2013. First, we acquired a record 69 net new member companies, increasing the ANA’s size to 570 corporate members — a size that seemed unimaginable only a few short years ago. The ANA continues to be valued as a marketing resource for all segments of the client-side marketing industry, as member companies large and small are provided with the same level of high-quality service. Second, we established an all-time high in unique member engagement. Our members took advantage of ANA benefits and privileges such as access to proprietary insights and research, peer-sharing meetings and workshops, extensive networking opportunities, practical skill development programs, leading industry conferences, and advocacy. More than ever, members have come to rely on the ANA to provide the marketing insights they need to make better marketing decisions and build their brands. B-to-B segment marketers are also benefiting from the ANA’s proven, practical, and easy-to-access marketing insights. As the marketing landscape continues to become more complex, so do the needs and demands of our members. We’ve continued to invest in the tools, technology, and personnel to allow for quick and easy access to the right insights at the right time. In 2013, nearly 16,000 marketers (an increase of 18 percent versus a year ago) tapped the ANA to find the knowledge and resources they needed. What were they looking for? More than two-thirds of our members consumed case histories, research studies, and peer-to-peer insights on what works and what does not; more than half found the ANA’s School of Marketing to be an efficient and effective way to build and develop the team’s internal capabilities and skill sets; and one-third turned to the ANA because of our top-flight conferences. Of course, there is no finer or more respected marketing conference than the ANA Masters of Marketing. The 2013 event attracted more than 2,000 attendees — a record. This conference showcases the world’s leading CMOs and other top thought leaders. Nowhere can marketers learn more, connect more, or gain more insights into what drives a successful growth agenda. The ANA’s growing portfolio of best-in-class products and services is matched by our relentless dedication to servicing our members. The ANA experience begins and ends with you, the member. This is further exemplified by the high member satisfaction and quality scores we achieve. The ANA continues to rank among the highest U.S. companies in this category, and we never stop trying to improve our performance year over year. Judging from the growth of our membership, usage of ANA products and services, and our continued high satisfaction scores, the ANA is a resource and partner that marketers can count on to build their knowledge, capabilities, and brands.

Quinn, EVP and CMO, Walmart U.S. ANA 2013 Annual Report — Leadership and Marketing Excellence | 9 ANA Brand Positioning Advancing the Interests of Marketers For years the ANA had struggled with its brand positioning — “Insights, collaboration, and advocacy” — because it’s a phrase that, in one form or another, a variety of trade associations lay claim to. This blurring of words not only causes confusion across the association landscape, but, in many cases, leaves organizations indistinguishable from one another. The ANA has long demonstrated industry leadership through the championing of legislative, regulatory, and industry initiatives on behalf of marketers. These include advertising taxes, commercial free speech, online privacy, and self-regulation, as well as major initiatives like Making Measurement Make Sense (3MS), Ad-ID, and SAG-AFTRA contract negotiating, to name a few. To differentiate ourselves in the eyes and minds of our members, the industry, and other trade organizations, in 2012 the ANA embarked on a journey to create a new brand positioning. We began by interviewing staff, members, former members, and nonmembers, and then, with the assistance and guidance of our agency partner TAXI-NYC, developed a brand positioning that clearly defines the ANA and sets the course for the future. At the same time, we have had a laser-like focus on fostering and advancing marketing leadership and excellence through the development and curation of thought-leading content, industry-leading conferences and training programs, survey research and white papers, and a growing committee structure. The positioning is drawn from our mission statement: Lead the industry and advance marketers’ success by: • Championing marketing excellence and collaborative mastery • Shaping the future of marketing Our new positioning gives us a singular, cohesive voice centered on advancing the interests of marketers through what the ANA does best: provide industry and marketing leadership. The positioning is also drawn from our mission statement: “Leadership that advances marketing excellence Championing marketing excellence and and shapes collaborative mastery the future offuture the ofindustry.” Shaping the marketing Lead the industry and advance marketers’ success by: • • We believe our new positioning articulates and amplifies our purpose and the value the ANA brings to our members and the industry. It is our goal that you, as a member, foster marketing excellence within your organization by experiencing how we live our positioning and make it come alive through the delivery of products and services. 10 | www.ana.net Marketing2020 — Organizing for Growth The most comprehensive study ever conducted on the future of the marketing function Bringing the Study to Life Looking ahead to the year 2020, many global marketing leaders are asking themselves how to ready their marketing organization to drive growth in a rapidly changing environment. In today’s evolving digital world, what marketing does has changed beyond recognition, but how the function is organized has not changed much. Marketing2020 — Organizing for Growth was initiated to better understand how marketing can best align strategy, structure, and capability to support business growth. The platform offers CEOs, CMOs, and their teams strategic frameworks, practical guidelines, and tools to increase marketing effectiveness. In 2013, through a series of 12 invitation-only roundtable sessions across the U.S. as well as one at Cannes Lions, CMOs and industry leaders came together to add their unique perspectives to the key findings. The research was also shared and discussed at the Masters of Marketing Annual Conference and several ANA committee meetings. Additionally, Marketing2020 content was incorporated into new pilot programs for the ANA School of Marketing. Next Steps Since the preliminary findings were unveiled at the Masters of Marketing, ANA’s signature work is now ready for prime time. In 2014, the ANA will share the findings with external audiences and across ANA’s membership. For more information, email Nick Primola at nprimola@ana.net. This global, landmark study was an important stake in the ground for the industry. Marketing2020 leverages the insights of more than 250 CMOs and 10,000 marketers from 92 countries. The ANA is collaborating with EffectiveBrands, SpencerStuart, Forbes, Adobe, and MetrixLab to help U.S. marketers interpret, discuss, and apply key insights and recommendations. Marketing2020 addresses the key questions that will drive the future of marketing: • What is the role brands and marketers should play? • How should the marketing organization be structured? • How do you build capabilities and equip marketers for success? • What are the winning CMO leadership skills, competencies, and behaviors? “The results of the study provide senior marketers around the world with clear pathways to business growth. This is the most ambitious and significant research and leadership initiative to help guide the future of the marketing function.” — Bob Liodice, President and CEO, ANA ANA 2013 Annual Report — Leadership and Marketing Excellence | 11 Going Global with The Internationalist 1000 Our global alliance with The Internationalist 1000 and its founder, Deborah Malone, kicked off in mid-2013 with events in New York, Chicago, and the 2013 Masters of Marketing Conference, among others. These events cultivated cross-regional connections, recognized new marketing leaders, and inspired others to take risks as they re-energized their marketing vision. The Internationalist 1000 are dedicated industry leaders who are reshaping our understanding of marketing’s expanding role throughout the world. In many ways, these individuals are the champions behind the brands. Their efforts ensure that multinational marketing programs move ahead and make a difference. They all share a passion for the business, a devotion to excellence, and a belief in furthering marketing best practices throughout the world. The main benefits of our global alliance with The Internationalist 1000 include: • The ability to shape the future of the industry through global marketing leadership • The opportunity to meet colleagues from around the world in similar roles with similar challenges • Participation in elite events, dinners, think tanks, awards shows, and online conversations around the world • Access to The Internationalist digital magazine, dedicated to the business needs of the international marketing professional • Participation in task forces (virtual or in-person) on key industry issues • Access to thought-leading insights from the world’s top marketers Tea and Content Afternoon Tea with The Internationalist, a newly added content session at the 2013 ANA Masters of Marketing Annual Conference, brought together 125 attendees to hear innovative solutions to everyday branding challenges from ANA members including Diageo, FedEx Corp., and Dell. Looking Forward to 2014 Over the course of 2014, there will be a minimum of eight co-presented domestic events. These include three seminars at existing ANA conferences in the U.S., plus a series of think tanks and dinners in Asia, Europe, and Latin America. 12 | www.ana.net Celebrating Great Marketing Multicultural Marketing Excellence Awards Marketing Analytics Leadership Award Rising Marketing Stars Award For the 13th year, we acknowledged marketers who produced innovative and outstanding multicultural advertising campaigns. A total of 189 entries were received — a 13 percent increase over 2012. The grand-prize winners of the Multicultural Excellence Awards included: In 2013, ANA member USAA won the first-ever Marketing Analytics Leadership Award, created to highlight today’s important and rapid adoption of sophisticated analytics in the planning and measuring of global marketing investments. Conceived by the ANA in partnership with leading marketing analytics firm MarketShare, the award carried with it a $50,000 prize. For the fourth year, we recognized the latest class of “Rising Marketing Stars”, who demonstrated exceptional skills, creativity, and leadership in their roles and contributed to the overall effectiveness of their organizations. • Alexandra Bozenhard, brand manager, Excedrin, at Novartis Consumer Health Between 2008 and 2012, USAA surged from selling 9 percent of its products from marketing investments to 29 percent. The company spends a fraction of revenue on advertising compared to its industry competition.

We work to oppose any efforts by the government to tax, ban, or otherwise burden the legitimate rights of marketers to communicate with consumers. We help to educate important policymakers about the benefits of our industry to the economy as a whole and to individual consumers. We are the advertising community’s voice before Congress, the state legislatures, and the regulatory agencies in Washington, and in the courts. The D.C. office also manages a Legal Affairs Committee and organizes an annual Advertising Law & Public Policy Conference. Some of our major efforts in 2013 included: • Dan Jaffe Providing the primary funding for updated research on the economic impact of advertising by IHS Global Insight, a noted economics analysis organization. The study found that advertising accounts for $5.6 trillion of economic output and supports 21.1 million jobs in the U.S. annually. • Meeting with a broad cross-section of key members of Congress on both sides of the aisle to discuss the importance of maintaining the current tax deductibility of all advertising expenditures under the federal tax code. • Helping to defeat serious ad tax proposals in Minnesota, Ohio, and Louisiana. • Expanding and strengthening the Digital Advertising Alliance, the industry self-regulatory program for online behavioral advertising, including the introduction of new principles for mobile marketing. • Working to protect the interests of brand holders regarding the attempt by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to vastly expand the number of generic top-level domain names on the Internet. • Successfully pushing for Congress to approve legislation that requires a cost/benefit analysis before four powerful federal agencies can impose unprecedented restrictions on the marketing of food and beverage products directed at children. • Working for federal legislation to address the serious threats of demand letters and frivolous litigation against both marketers and advertising agencies through the actions of “patent trolls.” • Hosting another successful Advertising Law & Public Policy Conference, featuring Senator Mark Pryor (D-Ark.), FTC Commissioner Julie Brill, Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler, and Fadi Chehade, the president and CEO of ICANN. We want to work closely with the legal and government relations professionals from your company. Please urge them to contact us to discuss how we can best work together to protect your company’s bottom line and First Amendment rights.

Team The ANA’s office in Washington, D.C. has a staff of five. Our staff members are all well-versed in the legislative, regulatory, and legal issues facing advertisers, and have extensive experience working for members of Congress, congressional committees, and state legislatures. We meet regularly with members of Congress and their staffs as well as key regulatory agencies, including the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Communications Commission. We file amicus (friend-of-the-court) briefs in legal cases affecting key advertising concerns, and participate, where appropriate, in state, local, and international advertising issues. Our team also regularly updates our members on our activities and the issues facing them, and we often seek help from them in these efforts. In addition to our direct advocacy efforts, we manage a Legal Affairs Committee and organize the annual Advertising Law & Public Policy Conference.

For more information on our advocacy efforts, visit www.ana.net/advocacy. 16 | www.ana.net Top Issues in Government Relations Ad Taxes Online Privacy AT ISSUE: AT ISSUE: Advertising expenditures are fully deductible each year as a business expense under the federal tax code. The deductibility of these costs may be in serious jeopardy as Congress considers tax reform. Several state legislatures have also proposed imposing a sales tax on advertising services. Policymakers at both the federal and state levels of government are proposing legislation that would impose serious burdens on the ability of marketers to collect and use information in the online environment, including proposals such as a “do-not-track” regime. WHAT WE ARE DOING: The ANA is a founding member of The Advertising Coalition (TAC), which has held more than 20 “grassroots” meetings with key members of Congress over the past several years to educate them about the importance of advertising to the economy. We provided the majority of the funding for an update of the IHS Global Insight report, which demonstrates the economic importance of advertising in every state and congressional district. On the state front, we helped defeat serious ad tax proposals in 2013 in Ohio, Minnesota, and Louisiana. WHAT WE ARE DOING: The ANA was a founding member of the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA), the industry self-regulatory program for online behavioral advertising, and that program continues to grow. Since the program’s launch in 2010, more than 23 million consumers have visited the DAA sites to learn about their advertising data choices, and over one million consumers have taken action via the DAA opt-out page to exercise their choice about how marketers will use their data. In July, the DAA released new selfregulatory principles for the mobile environment. The ANA joined two new state privacy coalitions to respond to the increased threat of restrictive proposals in several state legislatures. Working with our members and other industry groups, we were able to defeat, or positively modify, the most onerous bills at the state level. Top Issues in Government Relations ICANN Food Marketing Patent Trolling AT ISSUE: AT ISSUE: AT ISSUE: The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) recently began rolling out new generic top-level domain names (gTLDs) on the Internet. The vast expansion of more than one thousand new domain names raises serious issues for both brand holders and consumers. In 2011, an interagency working group of four powerful federal agencies proposed unprecedented restrictions on the marketing of food and beverage products directed to children under age 18. Several members of Congress have proposed taxes or restrictions on food marketing. Marketers and advertising agencies are increasingly being hit with abusive patent litigation and demand letters alleging that they are violating the rights of patent holders through the use of common business practices or technology (e.g., use of Wi-Fi in a restaurant). WHAT WE ARE DOING: WHAT WE ARE DOING: In 2012, we successfully pushed for Congress to approve legislation that blocks the four federal agencies from issuing any report on food marketing unless they carry out a full cost/benefit analysis of their proposal. We have been able to get that restriction included in several funding bills and it remains in place today. In September, we participated in a White House meeting hosted by First Lady Michelle Obama, where we highlighted the efforts of the industry’s self-regulatory program, the Children’s Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative, to address childhood obesity concerns. The ANA is a member of the Stop Patent Abuse Now Coalition, which is working on various legislative solutions and has urged the FTC to become more active in fighting the unfair and deceptive practices of patent trolls. There is bipartisan support in Congress to address this issue. We are hopeful that legislation will be approved during the current session. WHAT WE ARE DOING: For more than two years, the ANA has taken a primary leadership role in casting a spotlight on the serious unresolved problems with the roll-out of new domain names. As a result of our efforts, there were two congressional hearings on the domain-name expansion, and we helped both the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice better understand the risks posed to consumers and companies. We continue to meet with U.S. policymakers to strengthen protections made by ICANN before the expansion of gTLDs. The Washington, D.C. office had 61 meetings on Capitol Hill with members of Congress in 2013 34 Ad Taxes 10 ICANN Patent Trolls Privacy 7 10 ANA 2013 Annual Report — Leadership and Marketing Excellence | 17 Industry Initiatives Overview Across a broad spectrum of arenas, ANA articulates the agenda and leads the industry in advancing legislation, thought leadership, industry management, and social/industry responsibility. Over the past year, the ANA has taken on a number of new leadership programs while continuing to invest resources in critical existing efforts intended to make the industry stronger, more knowledgeable, and nimble. We are committed to making the marketing process more efficient and effective, enabling marketers to maximize the return on their investments. Among the industry programs and efforts we lead or support are Making Measurement Make Sense, Ad-ID, the Alliance for Family Entertainment, the Joint Policy Committee, Stop Patent Abuse Now, ad tax legislation, piracy, brand valuation, privacy, self-regulation, ICANN, and Online Behavioral Advertising. Making Measurement Make Sense (3MS) Sponsored by the ANA, the 4A’s, and the IAB, Making Measurement Make Sense (3MS) is a three-year-old cross-industry initiative designed to establish standards for metrics and advertising “currency” that enhance the evaluation of digital media and facilitate cross-platform media comparisons for brand marketing. The goal of 3MS is to enhance marketing and media management decision-making. 3MS changes the way digital media is bought and sold. Launched to help brand marketers and agencies keep pace with the consumer shift in digital media, 3MS addresses marketers’ concerns about having no reliable data and no single currency. For years, marketers have been plagued with inefficiencies in the planning/buying and post-buying stages of the supply chain, and they were unable to answer the question, “If I shift more of my budget to online, am I better off?” More recently, we have learned that the answer to that question may have been “maybe not.” At the core of the 3MS initiative is the creation of a viewable standard for digital display advertising. The industry has wanted it for years, and for good reason. It has been reported that as much as 30 percent of digital display advertising buys were wasted due to the inability to see or accurately measure served impressions. With approximately $35 billion spent on digital display ads in 2013, the potential wasted spend amounts to more than $10 billion. What is disturbingly obvious is that while there are more metrics for online media than in any other medium, none are effective for marketers, agencies, or media companies. A major milestone of the 3MS initiative is about to change all of that. Media Rating Council (MRC), a non-profit industry association which has the goal of confirming that measurement services are valid, reliable, and effective, will by the end of Q1 2014 endorse the widespread use of viewable impressions as a digital currency metric. The road to a viewable impression standard has been a long one, with significant input and discussion across the ecosystem. The new viewable impression standard changes the way digital ad impressions are measured and makes the buying of these impressions more effective and efficient for all marketers. 18 | www.ana.net Ad-ID Ad-ID is a web-based system that generates and manages a unique identifying code for each advertising asset and applies that code to all media. Valid Ad-ID codes can only be issued from the Ad-ID system, and include all basic information regarding the advertising asset. To assist the industry with the transition to Ad-ID, extensive educational material was created and distributed. In October 2012, Ad-ID was unanimously endorsed by the boards of directors of the 4A’s and the ANA as the industry standard for commercial advertising coding. Ad-ID has been widely endorsed as a cross-media standard by more than a dozen associations, as well as by all national networks and local TV stations throughout the U.S. The Ad-ID system was developed by the ANA and the 4A’s in 2003. Ad-ID serves more than 900 clients, including the largest advertisers and advertising agencies in the world. Ad-ID was named Media Supplier of the Year by Media Magazine in 2012. SAG-AFTRA Requires Ad-ID for All Union Commercial Production Last August, commercials negotiations between the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) and the ANA-4A’s Joint Policy Committee, representing the advertising industry, mandated universal adoption of Ad-ID, the industry coding standard for identifying advertising assets across all media platforms. Ad-ID provides the necessary identification required by all parties for fair talent compensation. Under the new agreement, all commercials produced for television, radio, and digital platforms featuring SAG-AFTRA union members must now use Ad-ID as the sole standard commercial identifier. The mandate is a critical step forward for Ad-ID and the advertising industry as a whole. Full adoption of Ad-ID will enable greater transparency and accountability and eliminate costly errors associated with the inconsistent use of advertising asset identifiers. ANA 2013 Annual Report — Leadership and Marketing Excellence | 19 Alliance for Family Entertainment and Joint Policy Committee Alliance for Family Entertainment (AFE) 2013 was a transformational year for the ANA Alliance for Family Entertainment (AFE). The “Search for America’s Newest Scriptwriter” contest with judge Will Smith and the first industry upfront partnership for family entertainment with YouTube both delivered on the AFE’s mission of finding, nurturing, and supporting quality content the entire family can enjoy on multiple distribution platforms. In December 2013, Stephen F. Quinn, executive vice president and chief marketing officer at Walmart U.S., was named chair of the AFE. The news was well received by family marketers and resulted in more than 60 million media impressions. Under Quinn’s leadership, the AFE is off to a strong start in 2014 with bolstered activities and increased membership. The AFE will focus on three key initiatives in 2014: research, content development, and knowledge sharing. The operating plan will create breakthrough consumer/customer understanding; distribute knowledge of consumer habits, practices, and trends; highlight which TV programs have the highest odds of securing family viewership/support; and drive more family programming options across broadcast, cable, and digital media via advertising, sponsorships, and ownership rights. The AFE will serve to better position the family entertainment industry to meet the needs of family-driven brands. Members will realize tangible benefits for their companies, leading to improved media ROI and operational excellence. Joint Policy Committee on Broadcast Talent Union Relations (JPC) On April 1, 2013, the Joint Policy Committee on Broadcast Talent Union Relations (JPC), the employer bargaining unit established decades ago by the ANA and the 4A’s to deal with the unions representing actors and musicians who perform in television and radio commercials, successfully concluded negotiations on a new three-year collective bargaining agreement with SAG-AFTRA. The collective bargaining agreement represents nearly $1 billion in annual spending by advertisers on actors who perform in commercials. It is the largest union agreement in the entertainment industry, exceeding the compensation paid to actors in movies or on television. Under the ANA’s leadership, the JPC kept wage increases below 3 percent per year and eliminated many provisions that were costly to advertisers when they edited commercials or produced spots for digital media. Perhaps most importantly, the JPC advanced the ongoing negotiations to adopt a payment structure for performers based on gross rating points rather than on the current system of payment silos for each type of media (network, cable, syndication, wild spot, etc.). The old model has prevented the industry from measuring its return on money invested on performers in commercials since the 1950s. The JPC hopes to adopt the new system in 2016, revolutionizing how performers are paid and ROI is measured. Despite the JPC’s hard-driving negotiations, it continues to have an excellent working relationship with SAG-AFTRA leadership that ensures labor peace year-round. 20 | www.ana.net The Truth About Advertising Advertising is a vast driver of sales and jobs and an essential component of the U.S. economy. Each form of advertising — including print, television, radio, mobile, and the Internet — helps businesses build brand awareness and communicate the benefits of their products and services to consumers. Advertising stimulates new economic activity that triggers a cascade of sales and fosters job creation across every industry, state, and congressional district. Impact on Sales and Employment IN 2013 BY 2017 $5.6 trillion of the $33.8 trillion in U.S. output and supported 21.1 million of the 136.2 million U.S. jobs. Advertising accounted for $6.5 trillion of the $42.3 trillion in U.S. output and support 22.1 million of the 146.7 million U.S. jobs. Advertising will account for $22 81 Sales generated for every dollar of ad spending $8.78 Direct sales for each dollar of ad spending $3.61 Supplier sales for each dollar of ad spending American jobs supported for every million dollars of annual ad spending Potential Impact of Change in Tax Policy Advertising is currently treated as a fully tax-deductible expense necessary to the cost of doing business. Just making advertising only 80 percent deductible would trigger: • A loss of $19.4 billion in ad spending • A loss of $419 billion in additional economic output • A loss of approximately 42,000 jobs directly related to advertising • The elimination of an additional 1.6 million in indirect U.S. jobs Source: IHS Global Insight study, commissioned by the ANA and The Advertising Coalition (forecast period 2012–2017) ANA 2013 Annual Report — Leadership and Marketing Excellence | 21 Message from the Board Chair It was another year of exceptional growth for the ANA, from the number of new members to the attendance at events to the organization’s overall influence. Most importantly, the ANA delivered on its new positioning: “Leadership that advances marketing excellence and shapes the future of the industry.” This success was the result of ANA staff meeting the tremendous demands of marketers for its services. In her book The Gifts of Imperfection, Brené Brown writes, “One of our greatest barriers to connection is the cultural importance we place on ‘going it alone.’ Somehow we’ve come to equate success with not needing anyone. Many of us are willing to extend a helping hand, but we’re very reluctant to reach out for help when we need it ourselves. It’s as if we’ve divided the world into ‘those who help’ and ‘those who need help.’ The truth is that we’re both.” Stephen F. Quinn That’s the great thing about the ANA: as members, we can work together to contribute the knowledge needed to navigate today’s turbulent, changing times. There’s give and take that benefits customers, consumers, our organizations, and our careers. At the 2013 Masters of Marketing Conference, we heard remarkable stories about the stunning breadth of change our industry is undergoing. At the same time, we received practical advice from the best in the business on what to do about it. Amid the disruption brought about by technology, it was inspiring to hear Visa CMO Antonio Lucio talk about the importance of purpose as a north star in building brands and reaching consumers. John Costello of Dunkin’ Brands reminded us that a great idea differentiates a company and answers the question, “Why should I choose you?” And Salesforce.com’s Mark Benioff showed just how much customer-centricity is changing in a world dominated by social, mobile, and local media. As Instagram and Pinterest have proved, social media is evolving rapidly, suggesting that there may never be stability in the platforms and channels we’re learning to master. Perhaps the most dramatically changing dynamic is the customer. As Unilever CMO Keith Weed said, “Get to the future first, and welcome customers when they get there.” I believe the only way we can do that is together — and that’s what the ANA enables us to do. Here’s to an exciting 2014! Stephen F. Quinn, Board Chair | EVP and CMO at Walmart U.S. 22 | www.ana.net Products and Services More than ever, it is critical that the ANA help to ensure marketers have the necessary skills and experience to lead the industry’s transformation.

Increasingly, our committees play thought leadership roles in addressing key industry issues. We have 20 committees covering topical areas such as agency relations, integrated marketing, media, multicultural marketing, and social media. Committees meet in New York, Illinois, and California, and a teleconference option is offered to members who are unable to travel to meetings. • Media Leadership Committee: Convened the Commercial Ratings Summit to discuss solutions that could help to facilitate the availability of brand-specific commercial ratings for television. Released the white paper “Brand-Specific Commercial Ratings: Benefits and Solution Providers” to highlight solutions from eight companies and continue the industry dialogue on this issue. • Multicultural Marketing and Diversity Committee: Established Multicultural Marketing Thought Leadership Forums to help increase the impact of marketing to an increasingly multicultural nation. Created the ANA Multicultural Excellence Awards to elevate exposure of outstanding work and celebrate the year’s best multicultural advertising campaigns. • Production Management Committee: Released the white paper “The Found Money of State Commercial Production Incentives” to raise awareness of financial incentives that many states offer to advertisers which shoot commercials in their states, and to establish that such incentives belong exclusively to the advertiser. Our committees are steered by chairs who are senior leaders from ANA member companies and experts in their respective fields. We view our committees and committee chairs as extensions of our board of directors. Committees are key originators and advocates of industry leadership initiatives. Recent examples include: • Advertising Financial Management Committee: Released the white paper “Elevating the Role of Marketing Procurement,” which focuses on procurement success metrics. Founded the ANA Procurement Task Force, a group dedicated to elevating the role of marketing procurement. • Agency Relations Committee: Released the white paper “The Rise of the In-House Agency” to shed light on the penetration of in-house agencies, the services that these agencies handle, the degree to which external agencies are displaced by in-house agencies, the advantages and disadvantages of in-house agencies, and the internal costs to companies of employing in-house agencies. ANA committee members consist of approximately 3,000 individuals from more than 400 companies.

It allows me to stay connected with the latest developments on innovations in media and measurement, and it provides a regular opportunity to connect with peers to discuss open issues and obtain input on solutions. Finally, it allows me to stay connected with the client-side media community so that I can have ongoing informal communication with other companies as needed.” — David Dobbins, director of global media and sourcing at Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ANA 2013 Annual Report — Leadership and Marketing Excellence | 31 Training 2013 Overview The ANA School of Marketing (SoM) experienced another year of record growth by all key measures: number of workshops, members engaged, satisfaction, and revenue. This was due to our innovative learning solutions, which feature a unique combination of real-world experiences and best practices from top client-side marketers and industry thought leaders. Demand for marketing skills development from ANA members has grown consistently over the past few years. In response, the School of Marketing has evolved its business system and is poised to be the go-to resource for the training needs of client-side marketers. To meet increased member demand for training regionally, the SoM successfully expanded its seminars outside of New York City, to Chicago and San Francisco.

The Content Marketing Institute offers five actionable tips for building a content marketing program within an organization: 1. Create a mission statement. Defining the mission of the content marketing program is the first, most important step. Use the statement as a guide to filter content and determine deliverables and outcomes for the core target audience. The P&G website homemadesimple.com, for example, targets women with a mission statement to “enable women to have more quality time with their families.” 2. Repurpose content. Before setting out to create new content, assess what existing content could be reworked.

Our financial success demonstrates we are on the right path — a path defined by strategic intent, a clear sense of purpose, and a strong leadership platform. Our growth strategies, unrelenting drive to deliver member value, and wide array of projects and initiatives that help shape the industry are what enable us to continue to deliver solid financial performance. As we closed our year, we are proud to highlight our key accomplishments: In 2013, the ANA posted operating income of $2.9 million, an increase of 37 percent over 2012. It marked the fourth straight year of results exceeding $2 million. Net income grew to $2.9 million, from $2.1 million a year ago, and revenue increased 14 percent, to $24.2 million. The revenue growth supported our business-building operating expenses, which have largely been in human capital. Without great people, value cannot be created. These investments were strategically important to our continued progress and to delivering quality products and services. The ANA’s balance sheet continues to be strong and vibrant. Total assets were up 16 percent over 2012, financial ratios remain healthy, and with the exception of our pension liability, we continue to be debt-free. Our liquidity profile continues to be in superb shape at $10.2 million, up 25 percent from last year. We ended the year with cash and cash equivalents of $4 million, an increase of 32 percent from a year ago, and investments (reserves) were $6.2 million, up $1.1 million from a year ago. Lastly, our financial stewardship and significant surplus cash position enabled us to meet all our financial and capital obligations and to move forward in incrementally funding many of the strategic leadership and advocacy areas noted in this annual report.
