The Advertising Association focuses on major industry and policy areas that have huge ramifications on UK advertising. This section contains our work around public health, gambling advertising, data and e-privacy, trust, the digital economy and more.

Credos is the advertising industry’s independent think tank. It produces research, evidence and reports into the impact and effectiveness of and public and political response to advertising on behalf of UK advertisers in order to enable the industry to make informed decisions.

Front Foot is our industry’s member network of over 90 businesses across UK advertising. It aims to promote the role of responsible advertising and its value to people, society and the economy through a coalition of senior leaders from advertisers, agencies and media owners.

We run a number of events throughout the year, from our annual LEAD summit to the Media Business Course and regular breakfast briefings for our members. We are also the official UK representative for the world’s biggest festival of creativity – Cannes Lions.

UK juror nominations for Cannes Lions are open!

Exports and International Trade Industry News

Cannes Lions has recently announced that it will return to Cannes in France next year, 20-24 June 2022.

In our role as UK rep, we are responsible for putting forward UK jurors for the festival, and so we are now calling for nominations.

In order to ensure you are nominating the right people for each category, please carefully read through the Lions Definitions and Jury Criteria here. You can find the list of categories that we are able to put nominations forward for at the end of this page.

All nominees will need to be available and committed to all aspects of judging, whether it be in Cannes or at home. Dates and the format of judging will be confirmed in due course but there will be prelim judging before the festival which all nominees will need to be available for.

To be on the Cannes Lions jury is the highest accolade in the industry. Demand to be on the jury is therefore extremely high but places are limited so please only nominate your top contenders and which category they are most qualified to judge. Please also note that nominating someone does not guarantee them a place on the jury and that the Cannes Lions team will make the final selections.

You can download the official nomination form on the right-hand side of the page. Please fill out a form for each person you wish to put forward as a juror and return them to Ellie.Mason@adassoc.org.uk by Monday 13th December.

We look forward to seeing your nominations!
