Institute of Practitioners in Advertising
Incorporated by Royal Charter, the IPA’s role is: to advance the value, theory and practice of advertising, media and marketing communications; to promote best practice standards in these fields; and to ensure that the work it does will benefit the public, the wider business community and the national economy.
It has a well-earned reputation for thought leadership, best practice and continuous professional development and also provides core support and advisory services. Its membership base is predominantly made up of corporate members who collectively handle over 85% of the UK’s annual £22bn ad spend and who represent over 4,000 brands and employ over 25,000 staff. Based in the United Kingdom for nearly 100 years, IPA programmes can be found in more than 60 countries worldwide.
The IPA Effectiveness Awards
The IPA established the IPA Effectiveness Awards competition in 1980. With its tough criteria, it soon became Adland's most rigorous award scheme. Forty years on, its databank of case studies (now over 1500 strong) is considered invaluable to anyone interested in, or working in, marketing and marketing communications because they comprehensively show the payback from investment in communications activity and provide a comprehensive explanation for winning business strategies. They have also helped the industry to improve its methods of evaluation.
