Let’s talk about… Advertising
In our annual review the Professional Standards Authority (PSA) raised concerns regarding Advertising Standards.
The PSA require that from August 2021 the BAcC monitors the websites of our members. At the time of writing no firm decisions have been made regarding the monitoring process. It is likely we will be asking some members to get in touch with the ASA copy advice team to have their advertising checked. It is a free service.
During the months of June and July you will see resources and webinar recordings posted up on this page. Watch out in enews for upcoming live webinars and notifications of when new resources will be available.
