Marketing
Serve on PDMI Councils
Volunteering to become a member of a PDMI council is its own form of advocacy — for yourself, for your business, and for the industry as a whole. The PDMI’s councils — including the Workshop Council, U.S. Hispanic Council, Government Affairs Council, Brand Response Council, E-Commerce Council, and Women's Council — provide a starting point for members to get more involved and for the PDMI community to hear your voice.
Government Affairs and Self-Regulation
From data security and privacy to the FTC’s latest initiatives, it’s important to stay abreast of government rules and regulations that affect your business. With the assistance of the PDMI’s staff and its Government Affairs Council, PDMI members will not only stay on notice of the latest news but also will be able to voice their concerns on legal and regulatory programs affecting today’s business environment. We believe that a proactive, self-regulated community is a healthy, progressive, and smart community. The PDMI promotes principles of ethical business practices, accountability, and transparency to advance the industry on a level playing field.
PDMI PAC
Give back to the industry in the most important way: to lobby for a better business environment for all performance-driven marketers. The PDMI’s planned political action committee (PAC) will serve as a non-partisan, transparent fund that helps ensure our members’ voices are heard on Capitol Hill, in statehouses, and with regulatory leaders.
Exclusive Advertising Opportunities in Publications
PDMI members are eligible for special rates and exclusive opportunities to advertise in PDMI Weekly and Results Magazine — designed to maximize your membership and your exposure.
Discount on Sponsorship Opportunities at Events
PDMI members receive special rates on sponsorship opportunities at PDMI East and PDMI West multi-day events, as well as the summer and winter PDMImix events.
Opportunities to Contribute to Publications
PDMI-member companies are on the front lines of the marketing industry. They are thought leaders whose voices and visions deserve to be highlighted. PDMI members gain exclusive access to sharing their ideas in the organization’s publications.
PDMI Newswire
A new campaign for your brand? Successful sales results for your product? Other big news? With PDMI Newswire, members stay in front of readers of PDMI Weekly and Results Magazine by gaining preferred placement of approved press releases.
PDMI Web Exclusives
Thought-leadership opinions? Marketers with a success story? Suppliers with a case study of their service working wonders for a clients’ campaign? PDMI Web Exclusives allow members a special opportunity to share their expertise and educate fellow members.
Pricing
The cost of your annual membership should be commensurate with the size and scope of your business. Though all members will have the same opportunities to contribute to the success of the PDMI, the first step in the door should be a decision that is easy for you to make. We believe the benefits of PDMI membership will surpass your company’s investment in it.
Member Companies
United we stand. Together we grow. More than 140 performance-driven marketing companies have joined the PDMI. The PDMI's member companies are the backbone of the performance-driven marketing business.
Councils
Volunteering to become a member of a PDMI Council is its own form of advocacy — for yourself, for your business, and for the industry as a whole. The PDMI’s Councils are an excellent starting point for members to get more involved and for the PDMI community to hear your voice. Five PDMI Councils are now open for membership.
