What is an Accredited Auctioneer of Media (AAM)?

AAM stands for "Accredited Auctioneer of Media" and it is a professional designation that is awarded to auctioneers who have demonstrated expertise in the sale of media assets, such as radio and television stations, newspapers, and other forms of print and digital media. The Accredited Auctioneer of Media (AAM) designation is granted by the National Auctioneers Association (NAA), which is the largest professional organization of auctioneers in the United States.

To become an AAM, an auctioneer must meet certain educational and experience requirements, including completing a course of study on media asset sales, passing a written examination, and having at least two years of experience in the field of media asset sales. The AAM designation is considered to be one of the most prestigious credentials in the industry, and it is held by only a select group of auctioneers who have demonstrated the highest level of expertise and professionalism in the sale of media assets.
