Today, we’re proud to launch the UK’s first industry-backed Creator Qualification from IAB UK.

As creator marketing becomes an increasingly central part of the media mix, the industry needs stronger standards, clearer understanding of advertising rules, and greater support for creators navigating commercial partnerships responsibly. That’s why we’ve developed a new qualification programme, hosted by Riyadh Khalaf and created as part of the EASA AdEthics programme with input from the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA).

The programme covers:
- Advertising regulation and disclosure best practice
- Platform policies and campaign planning
- Contracts, measurement and professional standards
- Long-term creator career development

This qualification is designed to help creators build credibility, strengthen brand partnerships, and protect audience trust, while helping raise standards across the wider ecosystem.

The countdown to October 1 is on!

For anyone working on advertising campaigns for Less Healthy Food (LHF) products, there’s a new campaign to help you understand the incoming restrictions.

From October 1, ads for identifiable LHF products should not be shown on Ofcom-licensed TV and Ofcom-regulated on-demand services before the watershed, or as paid-for online advertisements at any time.

Prepare by using the campaign’s guidance to key resources, including online training, to help your campaigns meet the industry agreement from October 1.
