On Wednesday we hosted our latest monthly COVID-19 call. These calls have been held on a regular basis since the pandemic began to offer members an opportunity to replay their business concerns to civil servants regarding the ongoing lockdown restrictions. Alongside a shared interest and concern at the forthcoming Government lockdown-easing announcement on 22 February and its implications for business, members raised their concerns about business rates, insurance claims and navigating a safe return to the office.
The group also discussed the continuing impact of Brexit, noting in particular the challenges for smaller businesses who are struggling to adjust to the new trading regulations and additional compliance costs.
The next call is scheduled for the 10 March, 9-10 am. If you would like to attend and have any specific concerns that you would like to raise, please contact Ed.
We are now less than three weeks away from All In, the first industry-wide census to take place on the same day – March 10, 2021.
The aim of the census is to provide the very best record of the make-up of UK advertising’s workforce, create a vital benchmark for progress and build back a better, inclusive industry for all. The All In campaign team are continuing to recruit industry leaders to commit their support to the fully confidential and aggregated census. All UK advertising and marketing services professionals are invited to take part.

On Monday, our Chief Executive Stephen Woodford responded to a recent article, which argued that industry’s argument against the proposed HFSS advertising ban fails to stand up to scrutiny. In his response, also featured in Mediatel News, Stephen criticised the Government’s proposals for restrictions, arguing that a better way forward would be to work with industry to achieve real change.
He commented: “Instead of Government and other voices viewing industry as part of the problem of childhood obesity, we believe we should be seen as part of the solution and we should work together to bring about positive change by encouraging healthy lifestyles.”
