    Are you ready for GDPR? The WFA guide to GDPR guide for Marketers (2017)

    When it comes to the EU’s new General Data Protection Regulation, 7 out of 10 marketers are in the dark. Maybe you’re one of them. Since the regulation came into force in 2018, anyone marketing to people within the EU needs to be fully GDPR compliant. This means making major changes to how you capture and process consumer data and how your consumers interact with your brand online through your website or your app.

    Ignore GDPR and you run the risk of heavy fines and damage to your reputation. But you don’t need to face this alone. At WFA we’re working hard to give members the advice they need.

    Advertising standards toolkit for the promotion of effective self-regulation

    Multiple countries worldwide, including China, Vietnam and Cambodia are reviewing their regulatory frameworks for advertising. There is no global one-size-fits-all approach to advertising standards; every country will craft a regulatory framework according to domestic legal and cultural specificities. But the core components for effective and responsible advertising standards remain the same. 

    This toolkit makes the case for advertising self-regulation, identifying the core building blocks drawing on case studies from Brazil, India and the Philippines.
