Every time I read about yet another person/company leaving the IAB –

Appoint Gai to the role on an FT basis and stop dilly dallyIng around wasting more member resources. This should have happened two years ago. IAB = measurement and she is the market leader and a great operator.
Couldn’t agree more. Gai understands the membership as well as anyone in the industry, and would focus the IAB on measurement, where it should be.
One time digital measurement closed shop with a charter to protect publisher interests got too ambitious and diversified into a training and events provider which then lost relevance to its primary stakeholders and thus it’s reason for being.
It’s time to realise that the IAB in Aus is broken and needs to be fixed…. The IAB should be for the industry, by the industry. Not controlled by the people who have the deepest pockets wanting to push their own agendas. Fix or Fold.
