ANA publishes Legal Guidebook for Advertisers.

A legal guidebook designed to provide advertising and marketing executives with the newest insights into advertising law and the potential repercussions of their everyday business decisions has been published by the ANA (Association of National Advertisers).

Freshly updated, the fifth edition of Please Be Ad-Vised: An ANA Legal Reference Guide for the Advertising Executive is authored by Douglas Wood, General Counsel to the ANA and partner at Reed Smith LLP. The 272-page guide contains information on the top legal issues of today, including social media, privacy, self-regulation, advertising to children, and environmentally friendly product claims. It explains why advertising executives need to care about the law and points out countless legal landmines they will face.

“Technology and media proliferation have completely changed the marketing landscape,” said Bob Liodice, ANA President and CEO. “This superbly written legal guidebook is a must-read by marketers, agencies, publishers and anyone involved in the day-to-day management of advertising and marketing.”

“It is my hope the book explains complex issues in a way that can be easily understood,” said Doug Wood. “We’ve packed it with a lot of new information and forms. It was a pleasure writing it for the ANA.”
