Established in 1991 as Carolinas Association of Advertising Specialists (CAAS), a not-for-profit Regional Association formed to advance the image and use of promotional products in North and South Carolina. The organization works to promote the highest of industry standards and to provide its members with a positive environment for professional growth and development by establishing a formal arena for education and idea exchange.
Since its establishment, CAAMP continuously fosters the professional development of its members in North and South Carolina by creating a powerful network consisting of hundreds of industry professionals. Active members have the distinct advantage to enhance their industry knowledge and improve their marketing skills through increased access to valuable information and techniques.


CAAMP has over 250 members and functions as one of the most successful Regional Associations.

Our annual trade show is the largest in North and South Carolina and plays host to over 200 suppliers each year.

We award regional scholarships each year for PPAI Continuing Education Programs.

CAAMP proudly supports local and regional education.

In 2001 CAAMP donated $10,000 to the PPCEF Fund.

Our educational workshops are nationally accredited.

Our name changed in February 2006 from the Carolinas Association of Advertising Specialists (CAAS) to the Carolinas Association of Advertising and Marketing Professionals (CAAMP) to better reflect our diverse membership.
