Our advertising and marketing experts have all worked in house at major global brands meaning they know how urgent marketing sign off can be or the types of issue that can crop up at the eleventh hour.
As a result, our approach is both proactive and client focused. We like to get to know you and your business to understand your customer base, your products and your risk profile so that your approach to marketing strikes the right balance.
We advise international and global brands on marketing compliance, from pricing practices (sales and promotions) and influencer marketing through to comparative marketing and highly regulated (e.g. cosmetic / health) claims.
We have extensive experience in supporting marketing and legal teams across a range of areas (from hotels to home furnishings and from supermarkets to supercars) on delivering some of the best creative content that is legally compliant and on managing risk within campaigns.
