Episode 7 of Venable’s Ad Law Tool Kit Show, Season 2,is now available. Listen to “Marketing to Children” here, or search for it in your favorite podcast player.

When marketing to children under 13, there are heightened requirements that go beyond standard truth in advertising practices. The basic idea behind these requirements is that children have a difficult time understanding that they are being given a sales pitch and distinguishing between reality and fantasy.

In this episode, Venable partner Melissa Steinman and associate Shannon Sansom discuss some best practices that companies should keep in mind when building promotions and campaigns targeted at children.

Venable’s Ad Law Tool Kit Show will help you identify potentially problematic advertising and marketing practices, or avoid them altogether. The Season 2 episodes examine such topics as Made in USA claims, litigation trends in privacy laws, and false advertising.

If you have specific questions after listening to this episode, don’t hesitate to contact me, Melissa, or Shannon to arrange a conversation. You can also download the complete Tool Kit or bookmark the link to our e-book for quick access to these industry best practices.
