Significant Hungarian involvement in international advertising self-regulation
New presidency at the head of the European Association of Self-Regulatory Organizations (EASA). Orla Twomey, head of the Irish advertising self-regulatory organization (ASAI), has been elected as a new president. ÖRT general secretary Zsolt Gerendi – next to EACA managing director Tamara Daltroff – will hold the position of vice president for the next two years. Ildikó Fazekas, director of ÖRT, is a member of the board of directors of the International Association of Self-Regulatory Organizations (ICAS).
EASA represents the advertising self-regulatory organizations of the twenty-eight European countries, but also has professional organizations representing all three areas of the advertising industry (advertisers, agencies and media sites) among its members. Thanks to its broad membership, it ensures the joint action of the industry in matters concerning the advertising industry and the self-regulation of advertising. The team of self-regulatory organizations is extremely cohesive, the sharing of knowledge – e.g. influencer marketing, the ethical use of AI or the topic of green claims – significantly contribute to the further development of organizations. It is no coincidence that the legislators take the advertising self-regulation system built by credible, strong self-regulatory organizations seriously, and more and more legislation refers to the role of advertising self-regulation.
The president always comes from a self-regulatory organization of a country. The head of ASAI, Irish Orla Twomey, replaces the director of Spanish AUTOCONTROL. Zsolt Gerendi represents the Hungarian self-regulatory organization (ÖRT) as vice-president, Tamara Daltroff also represents the European Association of Communication Agencies (EACA) as vice-president, and Conor Murraya, the treasurer, represents the European Group of Television Advertisers (EGTA).In his welcoming speech, the new president highlights the strengthening of advertising’s trust in consumers through ethical advertising practices, the changes in the digital advertising world, effective cooperation with legislators and representatives of the advertising profession, and the development of the digital operation of self-regulating advertising organizations as his main tasks.
