Friends of Search is hosted by industry associations DDMA and VIA
With 330+ members, DDMA is the largest trade association for data-driven marketing and service. We consist of a network over advertisers, non-profits, publishers, consultancies and tech-suppliers who aim to use data in innovative, but responsible ways to interact with customers. By providing knowledge, advice and networking opportunities in the field of marketing, data and privacy, we are contributing to a sustainable data-ecosystem in which organisations, as well as consumers, can profit from the benefits data can offer. Lastly, we aim to influence public policy by representing our members to policy-makers in The Hague and Brussels.
VIA is the network that connects the entire marketing chain and, together with its more than 250 members, moves the market forward. A platform in which there is room for data, media, creation and technology and for everyone in the industry. From CEOs to start-ups and from professionals working at advertisers, media, advertising and communication agencies and ad-tech platforms to exploiters and publishers. Because we believe that connection is the engine of progress. For more information: vianederland.nl
