The Ad Council has been a vital partner to IAVA, helping us reach veterans nationwide to share our programs and allowing us to bring the veteran story to the forefront of the national conversation. With the help of advertising giant BBDO, we have put together successful campaigns to drive the national conversation around veterans.
