Case Study
The 4As represents over 600 member agencies directing 85% of U.S. advertising spend. For decades, they've led industry research, education, and professional development across 1,200+ offices nationwide.
Their digital presence, however, wasn't keeping pace. Members struggled to find resources, staff wrestled with an unwieldy system, and the organization's industry leadership wasn’t cutting through the clutter.
Through conversations with members, agency leaders, and 4As staff, we uncovered a clear need: a digital experience matching the industry's creativity while serving agencies of all sizes and professionals at every career stage.
Our solution centered on two priorities: intuitive topic pages for instant content access and easier event and education promotion. Plus we integrated AI-powered Algolia search and Nimble AMS (their Salesforce platform) to create a seamless experience for both members and non-members alike.

The Yoko Co team was thorough, responsive, and creative from the RFP process through launch. The new site looks amazing and is greatly improved compared to our old site."
