Advertising Review: Clearance Before Publication

At a glance

  • Review before publication
  • Traffic-light assessment with alternatives
  • Fixed fee, within 48 hours on request

The cheapest warning letter is the one that is never written. We review advertising before it goes live – with a clear traffic-light assessment, concrete wording alternatives and, on request, within 48 hours.

What we review

Campaigns for TV, radio, print, out-of-home and online; claims, slogans and product names; packaging and labels; websites, online shops and checkout processes; social media campaigns and influencer briefings; environmental claims under the new rules; comparative and price advertising; promotions and prize games; AI use including chatbots, generated images and labelling.

Case examples

Campaign before launch

A start-up plans “boosts the immune system” and “climate positive” for a protein powder. We remove “climate positive” and replace the immune claim with an authorised vitamin C claim that matches the recipe.

Landing page with countdown

A course provider’s countdown restarts on every visit and the participant numbers are invented. We develop a version with a real deadline and verifiable figures.

Packaging relaunch

Before printing 200,000 packs we find a missing allergen notice and an unauthorised nutrition claim.

How we work

  1. You send drafts and brief information on target group, channels and evidence.
  2. We confirm scope, fixed fee and timing.
  3. You receive a written assessment: green (fine), amber (risk with alternative), red (not permitted, with alternative).
  4. On request, we discuss the result with your marketing team or agency.

For ongoing support, see fees.
