Karen Salters is joint managing director of Beverage Brands, which owns WKD, she is a director of the Portman Group and was recently heard defending the alcohol industry after the publication of a damaging report into industry practices.[1]. WKD was one of the products whose marketing practices were singled out as keen to attract "new 18 year olds" [2]. Salters echoed the Portman Group's response to the research published in the BMJ and added "All WKD advertising follows the tight regulations already in place and is pre-cleared by the relevant authorities.”[3].
