Welcome to our Advertising Pays 8 hub – a one-stop-shop for the best UK advertising campaigns that are making a positive contribution to society

Advertising Pays 8 is the latest report from UK advertising’s think tank, Credos and is focused on the hugely important social contribution made by UK advertising. Right now, we are seeing this in action in the way our industry is responding to the Covid-19 crisis and we are gathering case studies here so you can see this in more detail.

The new report includes major new research commissioned by Credos on both the public’s and the advertising industry’s perception of the social good made by industry. The report also includes a variety of different case studies that bring our industry’s social contribution to life in a practical way. These case studies are grouped under five overall themes spanning different elements of social contribution and environmental sustainability: Health & Wellbeing; Community Improvement; Diversity & Inclusion; Environmental Preservation; and Human Rights.

This  hub features many of the leading examples of advertising’s social contribution that were researched for the report. It gives more information about how the campaigns came about, the purpose behind the advert and the impact it had on our society.

We will be growing this hub on an ongoing basis, so if you’d like to put forward a campaign to be included, particularly around Covid-19, or simply would like to know more, please do not hesitate to get in touch with Ellie.

The campaign brought the nation together at 8pm one evening to applaud those looking after our loved ones from windows, doorsteps and balconies.
