Its membership consists of over 400 advertisers, advertising agencies, research firms, media companies, educational institutions, and international organizations. [cite web

The ARF conducts several research initiatives. It publishes the Journal of Advertising Research, a peer-reviewed academic periodical. It also sponsors a variety of advertising-related marketing research endeavours and hosts periodic conferences on advertising and media related topics. The ARF operates the Roy Morgan Information Center as a clearinghouse for advertising research, promulgating industry standards and guidelines, provides training and administers the annual David Ogilvy Awards Program.
During the 1990s the ARF spearheaded notable primary research in studies such as the Copy Research Validity Project, which redefined the area of copy testing, and the ARF/Ad Council Study to determine the impact of public service advertising. [cite web
