“What They Said are excited to be joining the IMTB", explained Client Services Director, Joe Stratton, continuing: "We might be a relatively new kid on the block but we have always placed huge value on the importance of professionalism in our industry and want to align with organisations that are championing fairness & equality. 

"We are looking forward to working together with Scott and the other members to continue to evolve the influencer marketing industry.”

Scott Guthrie, from the IMTB, commented:

"2022 is the year of regulatory and legislative scrutiny of the influencer marketing industry. Not just effective disclosure of creator advertising, but also issues including proper representation, pay parity, accurate advertising of crypto assets and working against greenwashing. The Influencer Marketing Trade Body is actively working with Parliament, with the Department of Digital Culture Media and Sport and with the Advertising Standards Authority to effect positive change. I'm delighted that What They Said is now part of that conversation and look forward to working together towards enhanced levels of professionalism within our sector."
