What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the National Advertising Council (NAC) is comprised of five members. Four of these members are All Team franchisees, elected annually by all franchisees in the system, with each agency in full compliance with its Franchise Agreement receiving one vote. The fifth member is the Director, who is an employee, officer, or director of All Team.
The NAC is responsible for making strategic planning decisions related to advertising. However, All Team retains the sole right to make the day-to-day decisions necessary to carry out the NAC's strategic plans. The NAC also reviews and approves or disapproves long-range marketing plans developed by All Team or other franchisees and may develop its own long-range marketing plans. Once a marketing plan is approved by the NAC, All Team will implement the plan without further review.
All Team reserves the right to modify the duties, organization, form, manner of operation, membership, methods of member selection, and all other aspects of the NAC, except that franchisee-elected members must always constitute at least 50% of the NAC's membership. Any deadlocks within the NAC will be resolved by the decision of the Director of the NAC. This structure ensures that franchisees have a voice in advertising strategies while also allowing All Team to maintain control over implementation and resolve any potential disputes.
