For the first time since 2014 advertising is no longer the least trusted industry (Energy & Banking are fighting for that position).
This improvement in the public’s greater trust in advertising can for a large part be down to the work of the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA).
We are delighted to welcome the ASA’s CEO Guy Parker as our guest In The HotSeat. Guy is responsible for executing the ASA’s strategy – AI-assisted, collective ad regulation & oversees all functions of the ASA system.
We will explore with Guy;
- The background to the ASA and its challenges with growth of AI
- A world without cookies
- Keeping on line advertising safe in a world without borders.
- Examples of ASA adjudications that reflects changes in society (ie Calvin Klein FKA Twig ad & Persil greenwashing claims etc).
All this and it’ll be a chance to get to know the person that is leading the team that is keeping our industry legal, decent, honest & truthful.
