The DMA is Europe’s largest trade association serving the marketing communications sector. Formed in 1992, the organisation represents 900 corporate members, spanning advertisers, agencies and suppliers. The DMA is focused on protecting the direct marketing industry by lobbying against overly restrictive legislation, developing standards of best practice and promoting responsible marketing. Through its ‘Preference Services’, the DMA also enhances consumer trust and confidence in direct marketing by providing consumer protection from unsolicited telephone, mail and fax marketing.
According to the Direct Marketing Association’s 2008 Economic Impact Analysis report, UK organisations spent £50.5 billion on direct marketing during 2007. Sales attributed to direct marketing activity totalled £133.4 billion - £76.4 billion from consumer sales and £57 billion resulting from business-to-business sales. The industry directly and indirectly employs 1,009,000 people, accounting for 3.4 per cent of employment in the UK.
