AC Advertising & Media Group is more than just an ad agency and media network. The agency, under the direction of its co-managing partners Audra Carter and Don Polk, strives to build consumer, government and corporate awareness to and from the communities it serves - worldwide.

Audra Carter, founder and co-managing partner of AC Advertising & Media Group LLC, (formally AC Advertising), saw a need in the community for better communication to and from its consumers, especially “minority consumers”. Audra Carter started AC Advertising in 2004, to be a communication tool or vehicle to and from her community and other target audiences. She believes a media coalition of magazine, TV, newspaper and radio channels is essential for a far-reaching and effective marketing, advertising or communication strategy. Highly effective promotional campaigns also included, and still include, multifaceted and diverse event styles, digital and broadcast advertising, e-blast and social media development.
