The latest Cabinet reshuffle has seen Ian Murray named Creative Industries Minister replacing Sir Chris Bryant. This follows the resignation of Angela Rayner as Deputy Prime Minister.
Advertising Association Chief Executive Stephen Woodford commented:
“The Advertising Association welcomes Ian Murray as Creative Industries Minister at DCMS and Minister for Data Protection and Telecoms at DSIT. We look forward to working with him across the advertising and marketing sector’s priorities, including the Online Advertising Taskforce, the new Less Healthy Food advertising restrictions, AI, the Data Act, and regional skills and growth.
We would also like to pay tribute to Sir Chris Bryant for his commitment, energy and ambition in working with advertising and across the creative industries as the former Creative Industries Minister over the past 14 months. The AA is looking forward to continuing to work in partnership with the Government to ensure advertising’s contribution to the UK economy is recognised, particularly since the creative industries sector plan recently named advertising as a priority industry for growth in the UK.”
