About us
Councils & Committees
With the DMA Code at the heart of everything they do, our Councils and Committees shape, champion, and uphold the standards for what “doing data right” and being truly customer-focused mean in marketing.
Bringing together some of the brightest and most experienced minds in our industry, they reflect the full diversity of the DMA’s membership and the challenges marketers face today. These groups lead on best practice, develop guidance, and produce thought-leadership that helps brands navigate change with confidence. They also create forums for collaboration, support professional development, and ensure every discipline is represented in the decisions shaping our industry.
Through this shared expertise and commitment to progress, our councils move the industry forward and keep it aligned with our core values and long-term ambitions.
By the industry, for the industry
