About NATA

The National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA) is the professional membership association for athletic trainers and others who support the athletic training profession. Founded in 1950, NATA has grown to thousands of members worldwide today. The majority of athletic trainers choose to be members of NATA to support their profession and to receive a broad array of membership benefits. By joining forces as a group, NATA members can accomplish more for the athletic training profession than they can individually.

NATA News is the premier magazine for athletic trainers. As a monthly membership magazine read by thousands of ATs across the country, we are the only monthly magazine dedicated exclusively to the athletic training profession.

Retargeting Campaign

Retargeting is a type of digital advertising that enables marketers to create highly targeted ad campaigns that reach their desired audience across the internet. By utilizing retargeting technology on association websites, marketers capture a prequalified audience to turn association members and supporters into customers of their own. 

Provide your campaign budget and your ads will run until contracted impressions are met on NATA’s websites. Submitting all materials as recommended will provide the highest placement rate and allow the system to best optimize your ad campaign for performance. Keep the message simple and the text as large and easy-to-read as possible.
