Podcast: Why 'fast fashion' media needs to stop - with Good-Loop founder Amy Williams

The Media Leader Podcast

Amy Williams, co-founder and CEO of ethical advertising platform Good-Loop, tells Omar Oakes why creating more sustainability is akin to ending the practice of ‘fast fashion’.

Williams, whose company has just launched in the US, discusses how the “waste” caused by digital advertising has meant media-buying has become like “fast fashion” and needs to be reined in to help make the industry more sustainable.

She also explains why advertisers will need to bear incremental costs for responsible advertising and why collaboration between companies will be essential to ensure common standards of carbon measurement are used.
