Dear IAB Community,
Looking forward to seeing the media and marketing community next Wednesday at MeasureUp – great presenters and peers all focused on measuring media and assessing advertising effectiveness.
The Commerce and Retail Media Council has published an updated Commerce and Retail Media glossary, reflecting current market terms and harmonising with global terminology. If you missed the recent Commerce and Retail Media Summits, recordings of most sessions are now available.
From January 2027, the Interactive Gambling Amendment (Gambling Reform) Act 2026 overhauls wagering advertising in Australia – new broadcast frequency caps, a "triple lock" ban on online wagering ads (age-gated, logged-in, opt-out), tighter rules on children's content, venues, uniforms and notable people, and a new ACMA opt-out register. We've put together a Gambling Advertising Reforms at a Glance resource for members.
Ad Net Zero's new whitepaper, Triple Win for Marketers, shows you can cut advertising's carbon footprint without cutting budget or results. With case studies from Australian Ethical and SBS, and new data showing advertising can account for 5%+ of a business's supply chain emissions, it's essential reading ahead of Australia's mandatory climate reporting rules.
Book your spot at our final events for the year before tickets sell out – Creator Connect in Sydney, then Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide market updates. Then tables and tickets are open for IAB Australia's 21st Birthday Celebration – a Friday media long lunch you won't want to miss.

‘Til next week,
Gai
