Our Vision

ACC History

Founded in 1941, the Automotive Communications Council is the oldest continuously operating council in the aftermarket. Although our roots are in the aftermarket, today our membership extends throughout the broad automotive industry.

The ACC has always been a proud supporter of education, providing a scholarship fund for a marketing/communication student with an interest in the automotive market. Our involvement with the Automotive Communications Awards has kept members abreast of the best marketing and communications campaigns in the industry.

Members of the ACC serve as judges for these prestigious industry awards, gaining great insight into new ideas and best practices. Our educational Webinars give attendees an opportunity to learn about the latest trends in traditional marketing, social media, and other web-based marketing initiatives.

The Automotive Communications Council (ACC) engages marketing and communications professionals in the Automotive Aftermarket Industry. We provide a unique forum for learning and professional development, achieved through idea sharing, collaboration, and networking with like-minded individuals.

Our dynamic membership, representing aftermarket suppliers, distributors, retailers, and service providers, allows us to participate in our industry’s continued growth. We actively engage our members to help the ACC a successful organization through peer mentoring, educational offerings, webinar courses, and our annual conference to provide additional learning and networking opportunities.
