Ad Standards executive director steps down

Ad Standards executive director Richard Bean will step down at the end of September, with a replacement yet to be announced.

“Richard has been an exceptional leader of Ad Standards, lifting trust and transparency in our world class advertising self-regulatory system,” said AANA chair Martin Brown.

“In particular, his work to develop the Community Panel that independently reviews all advertising complaints has significantly strengthened the way it represents the Australian community.

“Richard has strengthened Ad Standards both locally and internationally.

“As well as a strong focus on developing the capability and leadership of the Canberra-based Ad Standards team, Richard has represented the Australian industry on the Executive Committee of the International Council for Advertising Self-Regulation.”
