Today ISBA and the Influencer Marketing Trade Body launched Version 4 of our Influencer Marketing Code of Conduct. The Code has previously been acknowledged by government and regulators as a key piece of advertising industry leadership. The new version includes a section on preventing harm which may be caused by the content or placement of influencer advertising. This is a key ask of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport's Online Advertising Taskforce. IMTB sits on OAT’s sub-group dedicated to influencer marketing. Other new sections added for this fourth version include: ✅ Accessibility ✅ Health and Wellbeing ✅ Environmental Sustainability ✅ Virtual Influencers and Artificial Intelligence (AI) The additions complement long-standing subjects ranging from contracting to ad transparency, to pay equity and representation. Alongside the new Code, we’ve also launched a badge. Signatories to the Code now benefit from use of a new accreditation badge on their marketing materials including websites and pitch decks. This marker is destined to become a quality assurance marker within our industry. Big thanks to Rob Newman ISBA’s Director of Public Affairs and Chair of the Online Advertising Taskforce Influencer Marketing Sub-Group who has done so much of the heavy lifting with this new version of the code. Thanks, too, to our Board and members for their active contribution to the new code. Read more about the Code of Conduct and download a copy by following the link in the comments >>

Scott Guthrie represented the Influencer Marketing Trade Body this week in Paris sharing how we promote responsible influencer marketing in the UK. The key message is that responsible influencer marketing isn't a cost of doing business. It's a source of revenue enhancement.
Influencer Marketing Trade Body Director General, event speaker, and author of the Creator Briefing newsletter
The Influencer Marketing Trade Body was in Paris this week, invited to speak on two panels about responsible influencer marketing at the Followme conference. It was a great opportunity to ➡️Share how the IMTB promotes responsible influencer marketing in the UK ➡️ Learn from experts around Europe including regulators, marketers, and other trade bodies ➡️ Swap ideas for best practice initiatives. My key message is that responsible influencer marketing isn't a cost of doing business. It's a source of revenue enhancement. IMTB is a co-founder of the EIMA European Influencer Marketing Alliance alongside Union des Métiers de l'Influence et des Créateurs de Contenu (UMICC) and Bundesverband Influencer Marketing e.V. which, in turn, is a member of the European Advertising Standards Alliance (EASA). I always learn something from speaking with EASA & EIMA members and enjoy meeting in person whenever possible. Thanks for the inspiration Tudor M. Manda, Mohamed MANSOURI, Quentin Bordage, and Jeanette Okwu. Great to share a stage with Lauriane Le Texier, Emilie Le Guiniec, Laureline L'Honnen-Frossard, and Erika Hubert. Thank you for the invitation to speak DEBORAH STEIN. Until 2025 ... .

Earlier this week Quentin Bordage spoke in Brussels on behalf of the EIMA European Influencer Marketing Alliance and Union des Métiers de l'Influence et des Créateurs de Contenu (UMICC). Quentin represented the influencer marketing trade bodies in an important panel discussion speaking against cyberbullying. The Influencer Marketing Trade Body is a founding member of EIMA alongside Union des Métiers de l'Influence et des Créateurs de Contenu (UMICC) and Bundesverband Influencer Marketing e.V.
The #InfluencerMarketing industry and #ContentCreators have a key role to play in combatting cyber-violence 🥊 . I shared some ideas this week in Bruxelles on behalf of #UMICC and #EIMA during a panel organized by Amazon. At Kolsquare I B Corp™ we started to focus years ago on fighting #cyberbullying 💪. We notably decided to support amazing NGOs in Europe like Association Marion La Main Tendue, Association Génération Numérique, Bündnis gegen Cybermobbing e.V., etc. Cyber harassment is a plague that particularly affects the youngest. But we are all concerned. Especially K.O.Ls 🤳 . And all the IM industry players. This Wednesday, I had the pleasure to join a panel in Bruxelles on behalf of the EIMA European Influencer Marketing Alliance and Union des Métiers de l'Influence et des Créateurs de Contenu (UMICC). We debated the challenges and solutions for creating safer digital spaces. This roundtable started with a viewing of #Nudes, a Prime Video series tackling this topic. #influencers are an essential part of the equation. Because they are a huge bunch of the population. Almost 1M in 🇪🇺 on Insta only (<5k followers, min 30% audience in EU - source Kolsquare). 2M all social media considered. Because they are Key Opinion Leaders, a media, affinity-based, with a power of change. Because they were/are often victims of harassment: - At school: for physical reasons, sexual orientations, etc. - As content creators: for their skin color, convictions, etc. - As 'advertisers': for the brand they are partnering with that can fuel unexpected hate (ex: US fast food brands accused of supporting Israël) So, what can KOLs & the IM industry do? 3 pillars: Prevention, Detection, Sanctions. 1️⃣ - Prevention KOLs can be involved in sharing content to sensibilise their followers (minors but also parents & teachers). They can take part to events with NGOs, and promote them. Organizations like UMICC, Influencer Marketing Trade Body, or Bundesverband Influencer Marketing e.V. have created codes of conduct and ethical charters to support best practices and prevent abuses. 2️⃣ - Detection Most of the industry players (incl. KOLs) don't know existing tools (like Pharos in France). KOLs can promote these services (for free, or paid by government agencies). Again, organizations like UMICC, IMTB, BVIM, and EIMA can list tools on their websites. And become official "trusted flaggers". 3️⃣ - Sanctions Platforms should do more to block users for harassment. And emerging tech are promising, like AI censorship (Call of Duty), chatbots (to moderate), or recording of the last 5min of a live to have proofs (Fortnite). Many ideas shared, so many things to do. And you, what do you think? Thank you Jennifer Baker (moderator) and other panelists Cathrin Bauer-Bulst DG HOME, Constantin Gissler DOT Europe , Eva Lopez TRALALERE, Isaline Wittorski ECPAT International, and Philippe Coen Respect Zone. 🙏 Philippine for the initiative, and Bénédicte for joining me!

One of the perks of IMTB membership is invitations to select, private events. Yesterday our members met with Transport for London's head of partnerships who explained the commercial and health & safety considerations around creators filming on TfL property.

Tube Girl went viral on TikTok last year. But, what are the commercial and health & safety considerations around filming on Transport for London property? 📃 How do you get a filming permit? 🛂 When do you need to follow the IP licensing process? 🪪 What even is a “condition of carriage” and how can creators and marketers stay on the right side of them? Yesterday Harriet McDonald, Head of Commercial Partnerships and Harriet Ginn-Reynolds, Social Media Community Lead at TfL gave Influencer Marketing Trade Body members an in-depth briefing to ensure our progressive members always follow best practices. #influencermarketing #creatormarketing #creatoreconomy

Last week the Influencer Marketing Trade Body partnered with CreatorFest (formerly the Influencer Marketing Show) as its association partner. It was inspiring to hear from so many IMTB members speaking passionately on panels and delivering keynote speeches about the power of progressive creator marketing. IMTB partnered with the Advertising Standards Authority in the morning where James B. (James Burnett) Senior Compliance Executive at Committee of Advertising Practice gave a masterclass on ad disclosure. James walked TableTalk delegates through recent ASA rulings and answered questions from leading influencer marketers - both agency and brand side. In the afternoon I represented the IMTB and delivered a keynote which shared five considerations for our industry to consider to help realise its full potential. Creator marketing is so effective because it over-indexes in terms of consumer trust compared with other advertising channels. But we don't own consumer trust. Instead, our industry's long-term profitability will be achieved by continually earning that consumer trust. The IMTB exists to help secure that long-term profitability for our industry.
