Working with the media

The Advertising Association is a useful gateway into the advertising world for journalists and commentators. 

We are available for comment, interview and background briefings on most topics relating to advertising and marketing communications and where we cannot help directly, we can usually connect to someone in our industry that can.  In particular, we are well positioned to comment on stories linked to:

  • the role of advertising in the UK's economy and society
  • responsibility and self-regulation within advertising
  • high profile advertising issues, for example, advertising and privacy
  • Government reviews and reports, for example, the Bailey Review
