“Natural” Advertising Claims: Lessons from Recent Developments in Consumer Class Actions & Beyond

It’s no secret: a “natural” label claim on any product is a target for a potential challenger, particularly for the plaintiffs’ bar in consumer class actions. Over the past several years, hundreds of class actions challenging “natural” claims on the labels of food, dietary supplements, personal care products and pet care products have been filed in federal and state courts around the country.

This breakout session will present an update on “natural” claim litigation in consumer class actions, Lanham Act cases, NAD challenges, as well as regulatory developments. We will discuss lessons from these cases, including strategies to mitigate risk when developing advertising claims.

A Case Study in Complex Legal Problem Solving

Any in-house counsel knows that there is never such a thing as an ordinary day. A cease-and-desist letter lands in your inbox alleging that a major advertising campaign you just launched incorporates certain elements that infringe on another company's IP rights; a key brand spokesperson lands on the front page, but not in a good way; and the head of your product development team calls to say there may have been fraudulent data in one of your key clinical trials. To make matters worse, you’ve just found out the company’s main competitor just filed an emergency injunction motion against the company. A panel of expert outside and in-house counsels provide practical, complex problem solving to some of the issues that threaten to keep you up at night.

The Private Label Revolution

Private labels are surging. Gone are the days when private labels merely claimed “compare to.” Now, they are fully-featured products making powerful performance claims, just like the brand names.

Retailers are partnering with CPG companies to launch new competitive labels, and then launching them against the branded versions sold by those same partners. What is driving this revolution, and how are retailers and brands managing the delicate legal dance? Are CPG brands slowly killing themselves?

Shakedown Street: Cyber Extortion, Data Breach and the Business of Bitcoin

Since “the year of cyber extortion” in 2016, organizations have been required to adapt to the new age of cyber-attacks.

In this session, the audience will get to hear some of the wildest extortion stories, while focusing on the legal and security challenges that organizations are faced with throughout a cyber extortion incident. How do you pay? When do you pay? Who are you paying? What happens if you don’t pay?

What you’ll take away:

•Understand what legal, privacy and security challenges companies face when going through these types of incidents

Consumer Class Actions: False Advertising Developments in 2017

In assessing risk, those who counsel advertisers must take into account the various forums in which advertisements can be challenged. At NAD, a growing body of largely consistent jurisprudence has enhanced the predictability of outcomes before that body. At the same time, but for different reasons, there is a smaller chance a responsible advertiser will face a Lanham Act suit or FTC action; the huge expense of federal court litigation has caused a drop in Lanham Act filings and a change of presidents foreshadows a less-aggressive FTC. But the number of class action false advertising cases continues to grow and, in 2017, there was a spike in important federal appellate and district court class action decisions. Unlike with NAD, the increasing number of class action decisions has not resulted in greater clarity. This session will examine some of this year’s key class action decisions to help guide advertising counselors in determining the multiple directions in which the class action wind is blowing.

Transformation Sweeping Advertising and Marketing: Key Trends and Legal Developments

We are at a pivotal time in advertising history, and the industry as we know it is changing. Traditional media strategies are colliding with content creation; in today’s “attention economy,” consumers interact via social media, wearables and virtual reality, and increasingly block or do not respond to traditional segregated ads. Agencies are becoming content labs in an effort to reach these consumers, targeting their interests in real-time and incorporating tailored messaging into their daily activities across devices. The question we will explore is this: how can modern advertisers ride the massive wave of technological change while maintaining integrity and transparency, strategically transforming traditional sales models and navigating the legal landscape? How can brands effectively power the key marketing disciplines of Content, Shopper, Experiential and Promotions with effective advertising strategies to spark Brand Activation? Whether you are a brand, agency, retailer, publisher, media or technology company, come to experience a creative and thought-provoking exploration of the future of advertising and the hot-button issues and challenges affecting the industry today.

Advertising Review - Top Developments of the Year

This panel will cover the major legal developments in the past year that had the greatest impact on the advertising/marketing landscape. Federal and state regulatory and industry self-regulation leaders will discuss the major actions taken by their offices in the last year in the areas of social media disclosures, claim substantiation, pricing claims, privacy/data security and automatic renewal offers. They will discuss their current “hot” topic agenda items and offer insights as to what areas of the law might come under scrutiny next. These panelists will provide the “thinking” behind the actions and provide attendees with the tools they need to stay compliant in this rapidly changing landscape.

Content Creep: Media Deals with Custom Content, Native Advertising and Other Value-Added Elements

This session explores what advertisers and agencies need to think about when doing media deals that involve elements other than the purchase of standard ad space/time. The standard AAAA-IAB insertion order doesn’t delve into this with the requisite detail (a fact recognized by both publishers and agencies/brands), and this is something our clients struggle with all the time. This session will explore issues relating to rights clearance, custom content production, SAG-AFTRA, disclosure, regulatory and promotion issues.

The Art of the Social Media Deal

Today’s consumers want community and authenticity in their brand experiences. Once on the periphery, influencer marketing is now on the forefront of brand connections with their consumers. There are, however, some important rules of the road before you leap. The FTC has long been engaged in pushing endorsers to disclose their material connections with brands; the FTC is increasingly training its sights on influencer marketing. Following a spate of letters this spring from the FTC, it’s more important than ever to make sure that sponsorship disclosures are front and center and that brands don’t lose control if something goes awry. Join panelists in a behind-the-scenes discussion of the rewards of using influencers, the FTC’s perspective and the must-have components of an influencer compliance program.
