2. To share experiences and insights in order to advance the practice of marketing communications.
3. To drive common understanding and actions related to advertising and media industry issues.
The APAC network is open to all members of the WFA in the region and will seek to act as a regional voice for marketers to tackle critical media and marketing related issues in order to improve industry practice.
