Anna Montes

Anna Williams's latest legal tips

  • Up to date? 2011 was a trailblazing year for marketing law from green claims to social media ads, hardly a month went by without an update. So did you stay on top of it all?
  • Posting Notes Data management for low cost, high tech e-mail marketing to consumers may be keeping you on your toes but what about direct marketing by post?
  • Right ingredients? Claims about a food's nutritional value will be scrutinised, especially if it's high in fat, salt or sugar and aimed at kids
  • Keeping it above board It's not only offering or receiving a bribe that spells trouble - failing to prevent bribery is also an offence under new legislation coming into play
  • Playing by the rules Marketers need to ensure they're familiar with proposed restrictions on advertising activities during the London 2012 Olympic Games
