On September 3, we will be leading a showcase for our recent Ad Pays 7 report at Portcullis House in Westminster. The report, which was written by advertising’s think tank Credos in partnership with Enders Analysis, looks at the revolution that has taken place in digital advertising in the UK over the last 25 years, which has made the country the largest online ad market in Europe and the third largest in the world after the US and China.
The event will be open to parliamentarians and their staff members who will be able to meet case study businesses from the report and discover how the digital ad market is growing the UK economy by enabling SMEs and other businesses up and down the country to advertise more. If you’d like to learn more, contact Mark Johnson on the AA team.
This week we held a planning meeting with representatives from the IPA and DIT on Promote UK activity for the coming year. Promote UK is a cross industry group founded to further position the UK as the global hub for the advertising industry. The aim is to grow membership of the group and build on this year’s extensive programme of activity, which included advertising’s first dedicated Exports Month, trade missions to the Shanghai International Ad Festival, SXSW, and Tokyo, as well as showcasing British advertising at Cannes Lions. If you want to get involved in the exciting plans for 2020, contact Matt Bourn on the AA team.
Llongyfarchiadau (that’s congratulations in Welsh) to Matthew Evans on our Comms team, who recently came second in the National Eisteddfod of Wales with his choir singing a programme of five songs over 12 minutes. The national festival of art and music took place in Llanrwst, North Wales and Matt competed with the Borough Welsh Choir from South London in the section for mixed choirs of more than 20 people. You can watch the full performance here or a couple of highlights here and here.
