ABC Board
Our Board comprises of an independent chairman, our Chief Executive and 16 key figures from across the media industry. It meets five times a year to oversee the effective running of ABC and represents the interests of agencies, advertisers and media owners for both print and digital media. Board decisions are made by consensus.
Board members are nominated by the following industry trade associations:
Each media sector is also represented by a Reporting Standards Group (including agency, advertiser and media owner representatives). They propose the standards to which ABC data is reported. Digital media standards are set by JICWEBS. So all ABC standards are set by the industry for the industry.
