Ten years on from Brexit there are still no rules to prevent lies in election ads. We’ve tabled amendments to stop election ads like the infamous Brexit bus misleading voters again. Email your MP and ask them to sponsor them. It takes 1 minute. 👇 reformpoliticaladvertising.org/take-action/...
🧵 Our May 7th elections analysis was published today. The findings are stark: - 41.4% of wards were won by by less than 5% - 398 wards were decided by less than 1% - 9 wards were decided by a 1 vote Election ads will now be increasingly decisive. reformpoliticaladvertising.org/after-the-vo...

🧵We've just published our election update. The elections have showed how politics and campaigning are changing. Vote shares are fragmenting, many contests are being decided by tiny margins, and misleading election ads will be increasingly decisive. 👇 reformpoliticaladvertising.org/read-our-may...
. @greenparty.org.uk MP Hannah Spencer spoke at our recent parliamentary event about how fast disinformation spread and shaped voter perception at her by-election. With tighter elections rules for election ads are now critical. Listen to her and other MPs speaking at the event below.
This week saw genuinely important progress for Out-of-Home measurement. This is particularly encouraging because it is the implementation of a key recommendation Entropy made as part of an industry project a few years ago. 👇 entropyconsulting.io/ooh-mmm-meas...

Insightful piece from @sebjoseph.bsky.social in @digidaymedia.bsky.social on the growth of the creator economy and the more interesting question underneath it. As investment scales, measurement has to catch up. Thanks for including us. 👇 digiday.com/marketing/a-...
A year after Unilever, the ad-funded creator economy is still catching up to its own ambition
The creator economy doesn't exist in one place. Traackr and Creator IQ can serve as a foundation, but one partner can do all of it.

Influencer marketing is about to face a reckoning. Not because it doesn’t work, but because it now has to prove that it does. We’ve written about why, and how to measure what’s actually driving growth: 👇 entropyconsulting.io/influencer-m...
Below I discuss with @mrjamesob.bsky.social the once-in-a-generation opportunity to introduce rules for transparency and to stop lies in election advertising. Please email your MP and ask them to support our recommendations. 👇 reformpoliticaladvertising.org/take-action/... Full interview below.

🧵How much did unregulated election advertising distort the election results? Let’s look at a few of the wafer-thin margins: - Runcorn by-election - Reform beat Labour by 6 votes (0.02% share) - Doncaster mayoral election - Labour held off Reform by just 698 votes (1% share)
🧵We've just published our review of the 2025 local council and mayoral elections. They mark the first significant electoral test for the new government and an early opportunity for all political parties to show whether they have learned the lessons voters have been demanding.
