5 IMPORTANCE OF THE IAA THE IAA AS AN INDUSTRY NETWORK The IAA is a high profile platform for industry issues Advertising and brand communications are fundamental drivers of both businesses and economies. The IAA network organizes unique events worldwide that bring the international industry together and creates a forum for knowledge sharing and best practices, so essential to those doing business in today s fast changing environment. Marc Pritchard, Global Branding and Marketing Officer, Procter and Gamble Sir Martin Sorrell, CEO, WPP The IAA connects the global marketing communications industry The IAA Chapter network has thousands of members and hundreds of events collectively throughout the year that include key industry figures. The events typically share insights, issues, ideas and innovation. The IAA ensures both a responsible, but also best practice approach is uniformly shared and developed. Networking The IAA believes it is fundamentally important to facilitate the networking of our members to represent and share both their, and the industry s point of view; as well as further common business objectives.

6 PURPOSE & PRINCIPLES THE IAA ACHIEVEMENTS Government and self regulation What has the IAA achieved? The IAA defends the principles of freedom of speech, selfregulation and responsible advertising; and actively adds its name and resources to discourage unreasonable advertising restrictions or bans throughout the world, thereby driving and influencing a common position.

The IAA has played a key role in government legislative discussions around the world. It pioneered research to illustrate the role of responsible advertising to growing service economies. The IAA is able to represent the industry and its membership to government, NGO s and the media, working alongside the more specialized self-regulatory bodies. It is committed to the sharing of best practices. The IAA has its own dedicated volunteer officers in this area with a Vice President of Government Affairs. The IAA publishes issue related member communications, leaders and officers speak on these issues at industry events worldwide on behalf of the association. With the IAA s access, we meet government officials on a regular basis.

10 INDUSTRY INITIATIVES THE IAA AS A PLATFORM FOR GLOBAL ISSUES Hopenhagen In September 2009, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the UN Department of Public Information sought the help of the global ad industry in promoting awareness of COP15. The IAA brought the CEO s and representatives of all the main global advertising agencies to a summit at the UN with the Secretary- General. The IAA spearheaded the strategic and creative engagements with agency teams. The project was undertaken entirely pro-bono. Hopenhagen was an ambitious project. Mainstream awareness of COP15 was almost non-existent and the economic crisis was pushing environment way down people s agendas. It was necessary to find ways to scale and collaborate to create a significant global impact on a compressed timeline which would result in inspiring a people s movement. The IAA global network and agency teams collaborated to develop a global pro-bono campaign across all media channels. The results: 350+ Media partners $197.9MM in reported media value (Total projected media value =$ MM)* 550MM media impressions reported (Total projected1b impressions)*

15 IAA COURSE ACCREDITATION GUIDELINES & PROCESS The IAA will accredit specialist undergraduate and postgraduate programs or courses that have the objective of preparing students for commercial communication careers. It is the course, not the university, college or tertiary institution that is accredited. Each accredited course is individually assessed and scored through a rigorous, benchmarked IAA education evaluation process ensuring an internationally recognised quality of content and teaching required by the global communications industry for its students and future young professionals. BENEFITS OF IAA COURSE ACCREDITATION International industry recognition of quality of course content Listing of institution and course on the IAA Global website Educational resources for classroom use Networking and interaction with the global IAA community The IAA Certificate of Course Completion awarded to approved graduates Profiling of accredited Academic Experts and their areas of relevant research Local IAA Chapter support promoting industry/academic engagement & collaboration IAA Young Professional support and mentoring opportunities for students.

16 IAA COURSE ACCREDITATION IAA GLOBAL ACADEMIC EXPERT DATABASE The IAA s global Academic Experts database connects industry members with key areas of academic research and publications extending the knowledge, thought, science and art of communications. This fully searchable section will be open to Academics of institutes with accredited courses and those who are Academic Members only. Application for course accreditation by the IAA follows a standard format. The basic guidelines and format for course accreditation and renewal operate on the fundamental principle of providing students with a balanced and well-rounded course of theoretical and practical study in commercial communications i.e. Advertising, Brand Management, Creative Services or Digital Media. The course structure is at the discretion of the institution however within the course, the IAA would expect a balance of theoretical engagement with practical assessments, work integrated learning and industry engagement which could include for example engagement with industry professionals as guest lecturers; real world assessment tasks; industry sourced case studies; study tours, work experience, professional placement or internships. It is unlikely in the opinion of the IAA that a formal course academic study in a specific communications discipline would be completed with less than 2 years full time study or its part time equivalent. The IAA expects that appropriate, contemporary and current teaching and learning resources such as a substantial catalogue of industry specific commercial communications literature including academic journals is available for students. Applications should include the academic, professional and practical industry credentials of the course teaching staff. Course Accreditation applications are accepted by to the IAA Global Office with the outcome normally advised within 3 months following ratification by the IAA Board of Directors. The initial Course Accreditation is valid for a period of 5 years followed by a reaccreditation application that should detail any staff, structural or content changes to the course. For institutions that do not qualify or wish to have their courses accredited, the IAA offers Academic Membership through its Organisational Member category.
