Digital Marketing and Advertising Compliance
Influencer marketing... user reviews and testimonials... endorsements. These are all powerful tools in the marketing toolkit, but they now expose marketers to new risks and scrutiny by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or your industry regulator, such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). The good news is that you can mitigate those risks.
Firms that provide financial services, including fintechs, are often familiar with working in a highly regulated environment, but these new marketing regulations are not only for fintech. They go far beyond and affect any marketers using these digital marketing tools.
Two new important changes have emerged and need to be addressed:
- The FTC has made fintech one of its 2020 priorities, so in addition with potentially more familiar banking and finance regulators such as the SEC, fintechs now need to understand the requirements of a separate regulatory body.
- Even if you are in an industry that is less heavily regulated than financial services, you now face potentially greater scrutiny, and will be held accountable for complying with FTC advertiser and influencer regulation.
Did you know that the Federal Trade Commission can investigate and penalize both advertisers and influencers?
