The DMA mission is: to prove the responsible and innovative use of data in marketing drives growth. We achieve this by fostering relationships, providing resources our industry needs to upskill and inspire, and driving change that enables business growth while protecting customer's right to privacy through representation to regulatory bodies and government.
All profits generated by the DMA are reinvested to ensure the continuance of our work and to benefit the long-term development of the industry we support.

18+ community groups leading on resources by the industry, for the industry.
A customer-first approach to privacy is just good business.

Why us?
The DMA has been in my DNA for the past 25 years - whether that's been through training, winning gold at the DMA Awards, guest lecturing, chairing the awards committee, and now as Board Chair. I love the industry we are in. There is a huge opportunity to showcase marketing's impact on business growth whilst building a legacy among the people we train up for the future.
