Competition for consumers’ hearts and minds is no longer bounded by geographic frontiers – digital marketing, news, entertainment, and content are all global. The new-media marketplace naturally bleeds across frontiers, often with knee-high barriers to entry. But succeeding in this widely varied and vast arena will not be as easy.

Nearly all major digital companies are by their nature already global. Start-ups, lately, are adding an international dimension to their efforts sooner in their life cycle than ever before. It is our intention that through our collaboration, all IABs will help their members become digital influencers worldwide.

IABs from around the world:

• Help build markets
• Bring members together for common interests
• Make digital standards fluid across boundaries
• Produce world-class events for top digital influencers
