PURSUIT OF “TRUTH” IN ADVERTISING

The pursuit of “truth” in advertising has always driven the industry  and the regulators. But what does truth in advertising really mean today? The rapid evolution, transformation and radicalization of social media has made it more and more difficult to distinguish fact from fiction  and real news from fake news. Influencer marketing has transcended traditional celebrity models and become seeded into our everyday routine  and sometimes, we can’t tell what’s genuine. Marketers continuously struggle to cut through the noise and reach consumers in an authentic way. Meanwhile, the data brokers and social media platforms are collecting, channeling and analyzing a tsunami of data  a force behind the scenes of our daily lives that is only growing stronger. This year, come to challenge your preconceptions about truth and authenticity in the industry today. Whether you are a brand, agency, retailer, publisher, media or technology company, hear a fast-paced and exciting exploration of the digital  and social worlds we live in  and maybe a few other worlds as well.

TEN MAJOR CONTRACT CLAUSES EVERY MARKETING LAWYER CAN'T DO WITHOUT

Advertising law is a super-specialized area. At the same time, however, advertising lawyers need to know at least a little bit about lots of different areas of law: false advertising, unfair competition, copyright, trademark, right of publicity, privacy, employment, labor, regulatory… and of course, contracts. It takes a village to launch an advertising campaign, and the advertising lawyer needs to be familiar with a broad range of agreements to get the job done.

Hear esteemed counsel pick about a dozen contract provisions that every advertising lawyer needs to have in her form riles. This isn’t going to be a presentation about drafting (although the speakers will share their “best” versions of the provisions); instead, they will explore why the selected provisions are important, how these provisions get negotiated, and what might happen if your forget to include them in your contracts. Here are some areas of coverage:

  • Representations and warranties you want to have from your influencers
  • Idea submission waivers (and the unexpected places where you should have one)
  • Union assumption provisions in agency-client agreements, music licenses, and feature co-promotion deal
  • Morals clauses for talent agreement in this #metoo Era
  • What “post-term” provisions should you include in talent agreements, content licenses and other agreements?
  • Model releases in 2018
  • “Special Provisions” to include in a performer agreement for spots produced under the SAG-AFTRA low budget digital waiver
  • Terms of Service for that little app you are developing for your client
  • Securing consent to “regram” content (what are the options?)

PROTECTING SOCIAL MEDIA AGAINST BOTS, FAKE PROFILES, & AUTOMATION PROGRAMS

Bots, fake profiles, automation programs- these issues are affecting social media every day. From fake followers and the Twitter purge to the bot programs running rampant on Instagram, companies are starting to address such rapid changes and ensure social media/digital strategies protect against such issues. A company’s brand image and ROI may be affected if the company does not take proactive steps to take a stance against the proliferation of bots, fake profiles, and automation programs.
