ARF Research Leadership Committee
The ARF conducts original, critical research, answering the toughest questions the industry encounters in today’s ever-shifting landscape. The foundation funds this research by committing a portion of members’ dues to its research initiatives. Based on member feedback, the 2023 research projects will be concentrated on seven topic areas:
- The Relative Impact of Media, Creative & Brand
- The Value of Premium Video
- Cross-Platform Deduplication Methods
- The Impact of Web 3.0
- The Impact of A.I. on Advertising & Measurement
- Creating an Empirical Media Model
To help focus on the most pressing issues within these topics, the ARF formed the Research Leadership Committee (RLC) in 2019. In 2020, this 21-member group quickly became essential to the foundation’s research process. Members interested in joining the 2023 committee should contact Membership.
The benefits of joining include:
- Helping to shape the ARF’s 2023 research agenda.
- Ensure 2023 research funds support the needs of its RLC members.
- Being recognized as an industry thought leader.
- RLC members co-create alongside the ARF Research Department by:
- formulating research questions,
- impacting the brands and campaigns studied,
- helping to fashion RFPs and select research partners,
- gaining early access to raw data and
- helping to interpret and shape results, final reports and conference presentations.
RLC members attend a one-hour, virtual meeting every eight weeks. To accommodate different time zones, two identical meetings are held on the same day at 10 A.M. and 4 P.M. ET. Note that you can call in from anywhere. Members will also attend meetings as research is completed, to help interpret the results.
