The pioneering Yorkshire Publicity Association has marked 100 years of promoting the region’s creative industries with a reception involving past chairs and the Lord Mayor of Leeds.
Originally established in 1923 as the Publicity Club of Leeds and pre-dating the Advertising Association, the organisation is open to media houses, marketers in businesses, creative professionals, as well as advertising and PR companies. It has played a pivotal role in recognising, celebrating, and promoting outstanding creativity in advertising and design in the region, over the years.
Stephen Woodford, CEO of the Advertising Association, said: “The regional Publicity Clubs were very influential in the wider AA agenda. 'So much so, that members of the Publicity Clubs had seats on AA Council and the AA set up the Club Development Committee to coordinate their discussions and activities. 'We ran regular regional conferences across the UK including speaker contests to improve the expertise of advertising professionals.
