The organization was founded in 1942 and is based in New York City. The Ad Council’s mission is to use the power of communications to drive positive change and improve the lives of all Americans. It does this by working with organizations across the country to develop and distribute PSAs on a variety of issues, including public health, education, the environment, and civil rights. These PSAs are distributed to media outlets nationwide, reaching millions of Americans through television, radio, print, and digital platforms.
