First up, it’s Trust! Please join us at The Trust Summit on 6 October as we work to rebuild public trust in advertising. Hear from our President, Keith Weed, on industry’s progress since his ‘Trust or Bust’ speech at LEAD 2019 and be part of the conversation about what UK advertising must do next.
The Summit will include new insights into people’s attitudes towards advertising from think tank, Credos, as well as industry leaders on the action we must take to improve trust with the public, Government and NGOs.
Following feedback from our members, we’re excited to say we are planning for this to be an in-person event with the opportunity for networking with the combined membership of the AA, IPA and ISBA. The event will also be live streamed and available on demand afterwards. Book your ticket here.
Next up, Climate Action. Join your advertising colleagues from all over the world at the Ad Net Zero Global Summit this November to discuss how our industry can play its role in tackling the climate emergency. This free online event is hosted by Ad Net Zero, the UK advertising industry’s response to the climate emergency, during the period when the UK hosts COP26.
Hear from advertising leaders about the steps we all need to change the way we work and to change the work we make. How can we create an industry where every ad will become a green ad, in the way that it is made and, wherever appropriate, in the message it carries?
This very special two-day summit will include thought leadership sessions, new research and insights, as well as practical workshops from experts across our industry designed to help every advertising professional understand their own role in addressing this global issue. You can book your place here.
Now, creativity! In our role as UK representative for Cannes Lions, we are delighted to be hosting, along with our partners Channel 4, Clear Channel, Framestore and Newsworks, a special event for young talent on the afternoon of 9 September to share the best work and key learnings from the last two years of the festival.
Highlights will include Cannes Deconstructed by Contagious and Womb Stories by Grand Prix Winners AMV BBDO.
If you fancy a blast of creative stimulus, book your ticket here.
On Wednesday morning we hosted our twice-yearly Marketing and Communications leaders meeting for our members and it was so lovely to see some familiar faces on our screens!
We gave an update on our latest workstreams and campaigns, including the All In initiative to build a workplace for everyone; the Ad Net Zero workstream to tackle the climate crisis; our work to rebuild public trust in advertising; the latest from our UK Advertising Exports Group, activity post-Cannes Lions to grow exports of advertising services; and news from our policy activity, including the latest on Government plans on HFSS advertising. Thanks to all who attended!
