On the launch, our CEO, Stephen Woodford commented:

“There’s no doubt 2020 was a tough year for everyone in the UK advertising industry but, reflecting on the year just gone, I believe our industry showed resilience, agility and responsibility, all the while earning it place right at the heart of the UK’s economic and social wellbeing.

“We’ve proved advertising when it at its best can work hard for businesses and society during the toughest of times and I know that advertising will play a key part in the UK’s recovery this year. I am proud of all that we have achieved both as an association and as an industry.”
