New ASA Advertising Codes and Guidance Notes How Do They Affect You?

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has recently released revised codes for comparative claims in advertising, environmental claims in advertising and alcohol advertising and promotion.

A separate Guidance Note on Social Media has also been released.  This provides direction to consumers and industry about the application of the ASA Codes of Practice to social media environments which may contain a range of content include material generated by users.

It is important that advertisers and their agency partners understand the implications of these changes on their communication strategies.

The session will deal in detail with the new changes and what they mean for ad content and placement.

It will provide value for advertisers / media and agencies in up-skilling key staff on the changes to come into effect on 1 January 2013.

Being able to provide current and accurate advice on the more detailed guidelines will be a key benefit for attendees.
