All In Census Data

The All In Census is UK advertising’s only industry-wide survey, created by the Advertising Association, the IPA, ISBA and Kantar. It gathered confidential and anonymous data from over 16,000 advertising and marketing professionals in 2021, and over 18,500 in 2023. The initial data shaped the All In Action Plan, currently a series of nine actions aimed to improve workplace representation and experience. The plan has acted as a framework and catalyst and now more than 100 organisations across the industry have adopted the actions to become All In Champions.

The All In Census was repeated this year to measure progress and ask questions about issues that arose during the pandemic, including how employees feel about hybrid working. Once again, it was supported across all areas of the industry by advertisers, agencies, media owners and tech companies.
