Data
"Self-playing videos are the devil’s [sic] creation. You’re browsing the news late at night and suddenly an ad for laxatives is blasting out from your laptop at full volume!"
Consumer quote via yougov.co.uk, June 2015
Externally Prescribed Statutory; ASA, FCA, Ofgem, ICO,
EU… Advertiser Terms; branding,

IAB – flag bearer, engine room and hub
Performance Marketing Council & Legislation and Standards Committees
Members collaborate to define and implement standards
Dealing with real challenges that arise to maintain standards
Affiliate Standards Collaboration Framework
Outputs Voucher Code Code of Conduct Downloadable Software Code Publisher Standards Charter Consumer Transparency Framework Guides - retargeting, mobile…. Lobbying and educating
Effectiveness? Key issues addressed Positive engagementBUT…. Logistically challenging Breadth of engagement and senior
sponsorship could be better More publisher awareness and
engagement needed Voluntary, not binding
Arguably, focusses and effectiveness are proportionate to the challenges…..Now we need to look further ahead and confront the bigger challenges.
IAB PMC Focuses So Far?
The Imperative Assess the threat and act Deal with data and privacy Win the confidence of consumers Self regulate – rather than wait to be told what to do Galvanize and collaborate more
What if we all carry on as we are, wait and see what others do and see how it pans out?
Over to Yves from the IAB Regulatory Affairs Team…
So What Should We Do?
IAB Believes

“We are committed to ensuring that the significant investment brands make in digital advertising is effective and reaches the right audience. Working with our industry partners, we will issue practical advice, and accredit technology solutions to stamp out fraud in the supply chain.”
“Our goal is to help make all forms of digital advertising more effective, efficient and relevant to people’s interests. We want to help brands reach their audience and to provide revenue to publishers so they can continue to make their content, services and applications widely available at the appropriate cost. We believe ad blocking undermines this approach.”
“Together with our industry partners across Europe and beyond, we are working to ensure advertising businesses give citizens greater transparency and control over the information that is collected and used to make advertising more relevant and effective.”
