Advertising is a pillar of the creative economy and it is a UK service export success. Sports, media, arts and culture depend on advertising as a vital source of revenue. Advertising is what makes the web free. The Advertising Association is a tripartite organisation that represents the interests of the advertisers, the agencies and the media. Its purpose is to promote responsible advertising and its value to the wider society. The Advertising Association also provides a conduit between the industry and Government, working with our members, Parliamentarians, civil servants, and other trade associations on policy issues affecting the advertising industry.

It is our job to manage, protect and enhance the reputation of the association, its members and of the industry itself, presenting a clear consistent set of messages in the most powerful way possible to all our key stakeholders.

About the Advertising Association
The Advertising Association promotes the role and rights of responsible advertising and its value to people, society, businesses and the economy. Responsible businesses understand that there is little point in an advertisement that people cannot trust. That’s why, over 50 years ago, the Advertising Association led UK advertising towards a system of independent self-regulation which has since been adopted around the world. There are nearly thirty UK trade associations representing advertising, media and marketing. Through the Advertising Association they come together with a single voice when speaking to policy-makers and influencers.
