ISBA is the single body representing the interests of British advertisers in all areas of commercial communications, including TV advertising, radio, press, outdoor, new media, direct marketing, sponsorship and sales promotion.

Founded in 1900, ISBA has over 300 member-companies, whose total communications spend is in excess of £10 billion. ISBA's membership includes most of the UK's largest advertisers, operating in all business sectors. The single factor binding ISBA members together is their reliance on advertising and commercial communications to communicate with potential consumers.

ISBA works together with Government, media owners and advertising agencies to promote the importance of advertising in driving competition in our economy, to promote the argument for self-regulation of commercial communications, especially in light of the changing media environment, and - always - to defend the freedom of businesses to advertise responsibly.
