Asia Marketing Federation
Background
The success achieved by the collaboration between the European countries and the United States of America in many aspects brings about economic growth and technological advancement.
Marketing Association of Thailand (MAT) and Japan Marketing Association (JMA) realized the importance of network building which will bring collaboration and enhance economic growth. Therefore the idea of establishing “Asia Marketing Federation” emerged. The association then embarked on a tour, meeting and discussing the possibility of founding Asia Pacific Marketing Federation (APMF) with other marketing associations in the region.
Having developed and framed the policy of establishing the federation, MAT attended JMA’s International Marketing Conference in Tokyo, Japan, for the first time on 7 November 1990.
Asia Pacific Marketing Federation (APMF) founded on 1 April 1990 and evolved into Asia Marketing Federation (AMF) in 2007.
