And since at least one of us is always on a diet, when we indulge we like to pick the best tasting options. A competitive taste superiority message is incredibly powerful, and as such developing the necessary substantiation is exacting and expensive.

Could “Identity politics” determine what toothpaste you buy? Should it?

Gods of Advertising

I’ve been thinking a lot about “identity politics.” The whole country has. Or should I say the whole country is , because I don’t know that a lot of us are thinking at all.

NAD Lashes Out Over Use of Stale Market Share Data for a Best-Selling Claim

All About Advertising Law

I love a good mascara case. And it’s been too long. The last time NAD looked at mascara, it was monitoring challenges over whether celebrities in mascara ads were merely spokesmodels or product demonstrations and concluded the latter. (See here and here and an earlier blog I wrote on this topic.) NAD recommended clear disclosure if the model used lash inserts or other enhancements beyond the mascara to plump and lengthen her lashes.
