The Advertising Association promotes the role and rights of responsible advertising and its value to people, society, businesses and the economy. We represent UK advertisers, agencies and brands on behalf of the entire industry, acting as the connection between industry professionals and the politicians and policy-makers.

The Advertising Association focuses on major industry and policy areas that have huge ramifications on UK advertising. This section contains our work around Brexit, HFSS and gambling advertising, data and e-privacy, trust, the digital charter and our Industrial Strategy campaigns.

Credos is the advertising industry’s independent think tank. It produces research, evidence and reports into the impact and effectiveness of and public and political response to advertising on behalf of UK advertisers in order to enable the industry to make informed decisions.

Front Foot is our industry’s member network of over 50 businesses across UK advertising. It aims to promote the role of responsible advertising and its value to people, society and the economy through a coalition of senior leaders from advertisers, agencies and media owners.

We run a number of events throughout the year, from our annual LEAD summit to the Media Business Course and regular breakfast briefings for our members. We are also the official UK representative for the world’s biggest festival of creativity – Cannes Lions.

WELCOME TO THE ALL IN HUB

The results of UK Advertising’s first and biggest industry-wide survey, the All In Census, created by the Advertising Association, IPA, ISBA and Kantar have been revealed. The All In Census has gathered comprehensive data from over 16,000 advertising and marketing professionals and will provide new insights on the make-up of the UK advertising’s workforce plus data to benchmark progress from.

Our All In Report sets out three big areas of focus for the industry to achieve greater inclusivity. A roadmap for additional actions during 2021 will recognise and account for further areas for the industry to address in order to build a workplace where everyone feels they belong.
