Data Issues

Advertisers are now in a situation where they have an ever-increasing amount of data available to them.

With data comes responsibility and there has never been a more important time for marketers to ensure they are fully compliant with all current and impending data and privacy regulations. ISBA is here to help advise and support our members on all aspects of data compliance, from one-to-one guidance to membership of our Data Steering Group. Contact Jane Salliss for more information on how we engage with data issues.

Media Issues

While the relationship between advertisers and the media is close, each party has different interests.

For advertising to be viewed as an investment it must deliver value. As the representative body for UK advertisers, ISBA works both with our members and the industry at large to ensure an accountable media environment that offers choice for advertisers. The ISBA team can provide advice on a range of media and measurement issues, simply contact Steve Chester for more information.
