I help eCommerce and digital marketers with customized Internet marketing and marketing compliance tactics and documents to be compliant and competitive without costing them sales.

• My wheelhouse is the tip of your marketing spear: how you present your marketing message to your prospects in a hyper-regulated online marketplace.

• Your marketing message is a big deal. You should be able to navigate new and complex marketing regulations, but instead, you're left with questions regarding marketing compliance.

I'm here to help.

Your Concerns and Challenges with New FTC Enforcement Targeting Digital Marketers

There are two new FTC trends that you need to be aware of.

• The FTC's aggressive efforts with rulemaking that target digital marketers are intended to increase the FTC's legal authority to levy civil penalties (fines).

• The FTC's interpretation of advertising claims is becoming more nuanced.

More Information: Marketing Compliance

Your Concerns and Challenges with FTC Enforcement: As a digital marketer, your concerns and challenges in today's hyper-regulated environment are twofold.

It's essential that you:

• Have a working knowledge of the specific FTC rules and guides that affect your typical digital marketing campaigns, and

• Understand and apply the FTC's process for evaluating your advertising claims.

Failure to develop and apply these two requirements will increase your risk of an FTC enforcement action and substantial legal liability, with the possibility of personal liability.
