Boost your marketing effectiveness

Marketing effectiveness is not just a 'nice to have'. It is a key factor in business culture and growth. EffWorks is a reservoir of learning, research and debate established by the IPA and a host of industry partners. The ambition is to provide the marketing industry with resources and tools to change its culture. To realise the potential of truly accountable and effective marketing.

Live the Learning

The IPA’s Marketing Effectiveness initiative, EffWorks, seeks to create a global industry movement, to promote a marketing effectiveness culture in client and agency organisations, and improve our day-to-day working practices.

Part of this portfolio is the new Effectiveness Essentials that covers the basics of effectiveness, its importance to successful marketing communications, how to measure it and how to speak its language to clients.

    Forget the hype, forget the misreporting. We are seeking to represent what’s really going on and the opportunities for improvement in our industry. EffWeek and EffWorks are not just about what we do, but why and how we do it. Our overall ambition is to encourage evidence-based decision making in marketing. To move the industry from a reporting to a learning culture. To encourage greater accountability and transparency. Ultimately to create more value for the brands we service.
