The appointment of Zinn by ADMA is the latest in the organisation’s strong delivery against its strategic plan, which includes creating accountability and high standards for its members across the entire marketing industry.

Says Jodie Sangster, CEO, ADMA: “Data is becoming increasingly used by organisations and we want to ensure good practices and high standards. Members of ADMA meet these standards and the Code Authority ensures consumer trust.”

As marketing’s self-regulatory body, ADMA has empowered the Code Authority to oversee compliance with the ADMA Code of Practice (The Code).

Zinn, director of Determined Consumer and formerly campaigns and communications director at Choice, is known for his ability to balance strong business and pro-consumer positions and is expected to bring this to his chairing of the ADMA Code Authority.

Says Zinn: “I am very happy to have been asked by marketing’s peak body to work closely with industry and continue my advocacy for consumers.”

Says Sangster: “Christopher is a great choice of chairman understanding both perspectives. He also has a strong team of experts who will help him with this issue.” 

Current members of the Code Authority include consumer advocates Victoria Rubensohn, Robin Brown and former Commonwealth Ombudsman Allan Asher. Industry representatives include Samantha Yorke (Google), Sophie Jackson (Foxtel) and Graeme Alexander (American Express).
