Mark Bamford joins IAB board
The Interactive Advertising Bureau of Australia has appointed Mark Bamford to its board.
The announcement:
The Interactive Advertising Bureau of Australia (IAB) today announced the appointment of Mark Bamford to its Board. Mr Bamford is a partner with TressCox Lawyers and has over 15 years of experience in private practice working within the media, communications, and entertainment sectors. In recent months Mr Bamford has been working with IAB Australia on its incorporation process and the development of the Online Audience Measurement tender.
Mr Bamford is also a Board member of the Australian Interactive Media Industry Association (AIMIA).
The appointment is the most recent enhancement of IAB Australia’s Board as it evolves in line with the changing online industry. Earlier this year, three new member company representatives were appointed to the Board; and each year a Board member representative is appointed for a one year term following a membership vote.
Commenting on the appointment, Mr Bamford said: “I am very pleased to become a member of the Board at a time when it is looking to resolve some fundamental issues for the sector.”
Nic Cola, IAB Australia Chairman and Fairfax Digital COO, welcomed Mr Bamford to the Board commenting “IAB Australia is continuing to broaden its representation to ensure it reflects the market dynamics and we are delighted that Mark has accepted our invitation to join the Board. Mark has been heavily involved with the IAB incorporation process and RFP developments this year and he brings a wealth of experience to the Board. He will be a valuable contributor and I look forward to working with him on key issues for IAB Australia.”
The appointment is effective immediately and Mr Bamford will attend his first Board meeting in December.
