Looking to find out how you can help drive public trust in advertising?
Stephen Woodford, CEO, Advertising Association said: "Our industry can regain consumers' trust by tackling three main challenges, which will bring benefits to our economy and society."
1. Creative engagement matters above all else.
It will surprise no one in the industry to hear that the public enjoys engaging, creative ideas as much as it ever did. Great stories, characters, casting, music, emotions, humour make advertising stand out for all the right reasons.
2. Bombardment is a problem and it is getting worse for young people.
How can we avoid the over-repetition of the same ad, or the high frequency and clutter in some areas of the advertising landscape that drive people to use ad blockers or other techniques of ad avoidance?
3. Higher Advertising Standards Authority awareness is a major driver of trust.
The latest Credos - Advertising's think tank research highlights that awareness of the Advertising Standards Authority is low, yet our research shows that when people are made aware the breadth and rigour of what it does, they have much greater trust in advertising.
