We provide general accounting which consists of comprehensive financial reports, including balance sheets, income statements, budget analysis/creation, general ledgers, accounts payable, income and expense projections plus QBO assistance.
Creative Marketing
Engaging with members (and prospective members …) through creative marketing and communications is a vital part of attaining strategic objectives like membership retention and increased attendance. We ensure your brand identity and content of your organization’s messages are clear and memorable.
Education and Events
The landscape of educational programming, professional development, association events, and conferences are changing every day. CreativeAMS offers many different ways to support your overall needs for education and events. We help you create memorable educational and networking experiences for stakeholders which contributes to everyone’s success.
Governance and Strategy
Associations are driven by their missions and largely measured by their success in achieving mission-related goals. Good governance provides the vision and direction to ensure your association is on the right path. CreativeAMS partners with your board (and staff) to adopt best practices, develop strategic goals and initiatives, and stay hyper-focused on growing leadership.
Membership Development
The heartbeat of an association is its membership. The member experience must be memorable and keep everyone engaged at a high-level. CreativeAMS’s strategy for retention, growth, and providing value-added benefits creates positive experiences with your members. In return, members wind up being your biggest promotional asset … as they help your association grow, organically, by speaking about their successes and positive experiences.
Social Media Optimization
Strategically determining the best use of social media to meet an association’s mission and goals is imperative in today’s hyper-connected world. We provide a robust optimization plan allowing associations to thrive … socially. We introduce and leverage the many technological tools available to their association. And, those tools become essential in conducting business plus attracting and engaging with new members.
Technology
The quickest, most cost-effective way any association can work with technology is to automate it. We have the technical prowess to manage your association’s information technology demands. We supply the “automated know-how” to help save everyone who comes in contact with your association time and energy.

TESTIMONIALS
“We recently had our first virtual trade show and we were very nervous about the technology. CreativeAMS not only helped put our mind at ease, they were there to support us from the beginning to the very end. It was so smooth and CreativeAMS was beyond helpful and always there with a smile (and a few jokes to lessen our anxiety).”
