美国市场营销协会（American Marketing Association）

　　美国市场营销协会网站网址：http://www.marketingpower.com/

　　1915年美国全国广告协会成立;1926 年，美国广告协会改组为市场营销学和广告学教师协会; 1931年成立了由经济学家和企业家参加的专门讲授和研究市场营销学的组织——美国市场营销社。1937年，上述两个组织合并为美国市场营销协会（American Marketing Association/AMA）。

　　美国市场营销协会，由致力于营销实践和教学的人士组成的非营利专业组织，为参与市场营销实践、研究和教学的人士提供了一个信息发布、知识共享的平台。它在世界范围内拥有38，000名会员。

　　捕捉最新市场营销动态，发布最新市场营销研究成果是协会的宗旨，协会陆续出版了《营销学杂志》、《营销研究杂志》以及一份每月两期的新闻快报，帮助营销人员掌握最新的营销学知识。

　　协会主要是为营销人员提供一个开放、自由的平台，为他们提供最新、最全的市场营销信息、知识等，帮助他们解决实际中遇到的问题；协会还会不定期举办营销人员培训，教授营销人员关于市场营销的专业知识、基本技能等；协会还为营销职业树立道德规范标准，得到美国企业界的普遍认可。

　　美国市场营销协会在美国营销界占有举足轻重的地位，无论是营销思想的革新、或是营销人员的培训方面，它都走在营销学界或业界的前列。而协会为营销行业所树立的道德规范，更是成为美国营销从业人员约定俗成的行业行为准则。
