Media Forum

WFA Media Forum

WFA Media Forum brings together global media leads to share insight and drive actions on their priority issues.

Join the Forum

The global media market  has never been so complex. Planning, strategy and channel selection; routes-to-market; internal and external capability; media measurement, verification and evaluation; media auditing and consulting are all changing rapidly.

WFA Media Forum connects professionals from increasingly diverse roles to exchange, learn from each other and find practical solutions to their most pressing challenges. In addition to global media leads, it’s not uncommon to find programmatic and data specialists within this network, as well as those from the procurement side of the business. The connecting tissue is a common interest in paid media – offline and online. Value is delivered through critical research and reports, physical and remote forums and online tools and benchmarking services.

    7 Deadly Sins of Marketing

     New research conducted for the WFA has identified the seven key ways that brand marketing is most likely to annoy consumers. The results were presented on March 19th at a Project Reconnect session as part of the WFA's Global Marketer Week in Marrakech. They formed the backdrop and context to a presentation by Jon Wilkins, Executive Chairman of Karmarama, on where he thinks the industry may be getting it wrong, a presentation by a group of African students on their views about what's good and bad about brand marketing and an interactive panel session including high-profile industry experts focusing on potential solutions.
