This is because her practice encompasses not only IP, but advertising, privacy and social media as well.

Event Synopsis:
Marketers and publishers are continually innovating and developing new ways to deliver an enriching and highly integrated experience to consumers. One method is “native advertising,” which has become an increasingly important marketing strategy for brands. This type of ad bears a similarity in appearance and content to news and other non-commercial, editorial material that surround it online. Noticing its proliferating use by businesses who see it as a valuable alternative to more overt, transparent digital advertising, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently issued an Enforcement Policy Statement on Deceptively Formatted Advertisements and Native Advertising guidance documents to guide businesses on how to legally utilize native ads.

However, these publications go beyond just offering a roadmap for advertisers to legally acceptable uses of native advertising; they also reflect and review a history of aggressive FTC enforcement against other forms of deceptively formatted advertising and portend similarly vigorous enforcement against this latest incarnation of the technique. It already has brought one enforcement action against native advertising and others undoubtedly are being planned. With the FTC’s heightened monitoring of native ads, brands should be well aware of the agency’s announced guidelines in this area and the risks of ignoring them.

In this two-hour LIive Webcast, a panel of key thought leaders and advertising professionals assembled by The Knowledge Group will discuss the FTC’s legal framework for evaluating native advertising and show the audience how and when to effectively disclose sponsored content. Speakers will also discuss best practices in maximizing the effectiveness of native advertising strategies while minimizing potential risks and common pitfalls..

Some of the major topics that will be covered in this course are:

Native Advertising: An Overview
Disclosures and Disclaimers
FTC’s Enforcement Policies
Potential Risks and Common Pitfalls
Best Practices
Up-to-the-Minute Regulatory Updates
