“Trust is at the heart of what the AMAA champions for the industry,” Ryan said in a statement. “The transparency and accountability of verified data, ensuring that advertisers and agencies can transact with confidence, remains vital to both print and digital media.

AMAA chairman, Harley Slatter, highlighted Ryan’s wealth of media experience and strong understanding of the value of audited data as key reasons for her appointment.
“The focus for the organisation going forward is in evolving the media audit services to better meet the needs of members and the industry in an ever-changing landscape,” he added.
