Lecture Description

Professionals working in digital marketing and communication are surrounded with issues pertaining to creativity, inventiveness, creative media selection and technology that absorb most of the time and effort placed in planning and implementing online activities. However, it is important to balance that creativity with the practicalities and legalities of marketing compliance, as well as be aware of important ethical considerations. There are compliance standards, laws and self-regulatory practices that must be taken into account in any digital  campaign, which requires a different kind of thinking that is probably not as second nature to practitioners today, who often feel that digital exists in a legal vacuum. In this lecture, important legal and ethical issues will be covered, such as copyright infringement, misleading conduct, privacy and data processing among other things.

Having a better understanding of such principles will not only protect the brand’s public reputation and integrity, but it can also save professionals from making some costly marketing and communication mistakes.
