Society and Sustainability
Brands must be a force for good and a force for growth through action. This means using marketing to promote equality and inclusion to achieve a better world for humanity and drive more growth and value for business.
Foundational to this success are solutions that leverage increasingly sophisticated measurement systems, partnerships with primary media and platforms, and clear accountability for brand safety and reduced ad fraud.
The ANA’s Approach
We enable brands to be a force for good and a force for growth and stand at the forefront of the latest research and industry-wide initiatives driving diversity, equality, inclusivity, and brand safety across the marketing industry.
CMO Growth Council
The CMO Growth Council was established in 2018 to assemble the most vibrant, diverse, and dynamic force of chief marketers from some of the world’s most successful brands. Its ultimate aim is to support the international community with a first-of-its-kind roadmap for driving business growth through marketing.
Agenda Items
This growth priority directly influences key industry concerns the ANA is addressing to drive business, brand, and industry growth.

As a Norwegian who grew up in the U.S. and now goes back and forth between the two countries, it is fascinating to see differences in U.S. versus European advertising. European advertisers contend with small populations that speak different languages, the GDPR, greenwashing laws and a generally slower to emerge CTV landscape. The U.S. on the other hand is a huge wide-open landscape, with opportunities to reach highly scaled audiences, use data targeting, create innovative tech, and generally go further faster.

A benefit of ANA membership, committee meetings feature a mix of member case studies, perspective from outside experts, and benchmarking/best-practice sharing that drive thought leadership on key industry issues. Each ANA committee meets three to four times per year and can be attended in person or remotely.
