In 1961 Advertising Age recognized the APC for its "unassailable standards of reproduction ethics," crediting it for its original Creed, reproduced below.
|
|
|
I Believe that advertising performs a vast and vital service not only for the advertiser but for the consumer and the national economy.
I Believe that the graphic arts contribute importantly to the services of advertising, and it is my personal responsibility to make this contribution count to the utmost.
I Believe that this requires all my knowledge, all my diplomacy, and all my devotion.
I Believe above all that my responsibilities to my agency and its clients call for unimpeachable integrity.
So Believing, I dedicate myself to the most honorable conduct of my work, to the enlargement of my knowledge, the enhancement of my skill, and the protection of the good name of my agency and of my calling.
