Following the speech by Rain Newton-Smith, Director General, CBI at advertising industry summit LEAD this morning, we have issued the below statement.
Lisa Hayley-Jones, Director of Policy and Government Affairs, Advertising Association, said:
“It was great to hear from the CBI this morning on the importance of championing sustainable, responsible growth in the UK. Long-term partnerships and collaboration between industry and Government can help build the certainty that business needs to succeed, and we are pleased to hear the CBI echo the importance of the advertising industry during an election year. Be it through driving price competition during a cost of living crisis; supporting SMEs to compete on the world stage; or working closely with government to ensure we attract inward investment and talent we need to keep our sector thriving – the advertising industry is vital to achieving this economic success.”
