In summary, Stephen Hamlet said: “It is encouraging to see such positive results in this year’s IAB survey, especially in a year that presented serious challenges. We have many reasons for pride and development.
As always, I am constantly paying attention to where we can focus our attention in order to increase support for the development of the network while considering new opportunities that can be explored.
However, taking a moment to reflect on the efforts of many people over the past year, which have led to such great achievements, is something that I, my team and our members derive great satisfaction from when we look to the future of the network." He added: “I am incredibly grateful to our member companies around the world, who have shown admirable courage, leading their teams and customers through those very demanding 12 months.
I thank our members wholeheartedly for their invaluable contribution to the sustainable success and development of our international network."
