The IPA Associate scheme offers a helping hand to individual practitioners who are not in the employment of an IPA member agency or an IPA Accelerator agency.
Advertising is an ever-evolving industry and today more than ever it’s crucial for ambitious individuals to stay up-to-date and in the know. Which is why the Associate programme offers access to an extensive range of IPA content, including courses and qualifications, events and publications.
The cost for an individual to subscribe to the scheme for 12 months is £240 including VAT. (There is an option for a company to subscribe employees to the scheme and to pay via an invoice, at the price of £480 per person including VAT. Please email [email protected] for more information on this option.)
