"I think virtually all the divisions were doing something with the Ad Council, but it wasn't centralized."

At a board meeting yesterday, the Ad Council also announced which campaigns received the most donated inventory last year.

The organization also produces and disseminates a national public service advertising campaign, in partnership with the Ad Council.

The Ad Council, a public service organization established by the advertising industry, has tried to do this by varying the message over the years.

The commercials are being distributed by the Ad Council.

Indeed, the strength of the Ad Council "brand" is being questioned in a contentious debate over the council's purpose.

The Ad Council celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2012.
