Business leaders in the fashion, beauty, and entertainment fields have their own set of legal challenges when it comes to marketing and advertising—embracing the opportunities of social media and mobile marketing, leveraging celebrity endorsements, highlighting a commitment to ESG best-practices, navigating third-party content, building and enforcing intellectual property rights, and ensuring compliance with the latest advertising law developments, to name a few. This seminar will address these and other issues, highlighting recent legal developments and focusing on practical steps that marketing and communications professionals, in-house lawyers, and legal professionals can take to strengthen the position of their marketing, communications, content, and brands.

Among the topics to be discussed:

  • Leveraging celebrity and influencer endorsements
  • Controlling the effect of imposters and other bad actors on social media and through referral programs
  • Navigating ESG issues and compliance with the FTC's Green Guides related to sustainability claims
  • Launching promotions and giveaways, including NFTs and in the Metaverse
  • Navigating claims from competitors concerning false advertising and product disparagement

This session will address these and other issues, while focusing on practical steps that marketers and in-house lawyers can take to manage risk and avoid pitfalls that arise with promotional giveaways.
