Thanks to the coronavirus outbreak, huge parts of the U.S. economy are shutting down. From restaurants to gyms to hotel chains, workers are being hit hard as layoffs snowball daily. The advertising industry is feeling the shock as advertising budgets dry up due to postponed launches and canceled sporting, entertainment and business events.
Since 1936, the Advertising Research Foundation (ARF) has been the standard-bearer for unbiased quality in research on advertising, media and marketing. Its powerful knowledge, unifying standards and best practices have benefited its 400+ member companies many times over. Only the ARF brings together advertisers, agencies, media companies, research companies and #AdTECH into one conversation about how to be better at what we do.
