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.

Upcoming Forum events

  1. WFA Forum Connect

    Mumbai India

    03 Feb 2026

    Join us for the first edition of Forum Connect in Mumbai, where we will be uniting WFA’s marketing communities around a common goal.

    More information Sorry, the registration period is over.

  2. We all know that AI has changed how we think about search marketing, but what actually influences whether AI surfaces your brand, and how can you improve your odds without chasing hype?

  3. AI is changing how people discover brands - and how visibility is delivered. When answers happen directly in search results and AI experiences, influence doesn’t always show up as a neat, last-click session. That makes it harder (and more important) to prove what content and digital PR are really contributing, especially when budgets are under scrutiny.

The Media Forum is chaired by Mathias Chaillou, Chief Media Officer, L'Oréal.

    WFA response to Adalytics report on Google Search advertising

    Please note that GARM was discontinued on August 8. See more here.

    21 December 2023, an update on the article published below on 29 November 2023: since we shared our initial thoughts, Google has responded to Adalytics findings questioning the output and the methodology employed. In its response, Google claims that over 90% of Search Partner Network impressions are from Top 100 sites and apps (including YouTube). Google goes on to say that ‘Programmable Search Engine’ (ProSE) sites, the focus of Adalytics’ report, are less than 1% of search partner network impressions. And the sites which violated Google’s policies represent 0.002% of impressions across GSP Network.
