We’ll dive into 2025’s most buzzworthy and controversial advertising campaigns and explore why these campaigns dominated headlines. From celebrity-driven promotions and AI-generated ads, to the Competition Bureau’s heightened scrutiny of drip pricing and misleading “maple washing” claims, we’ll cover the ads we can’t stop talking about in 2025.
Attendees will gain:
- a clear understanding of the legal and regulatory framework governing both conventional and social advertising in Canada.
- practical insights on how to avoid compliance pitfalls, manage reputational risk and balance creativity with transparency in an era where one misstep can go viral.
Who should attend:
- in-house counsel
- business owners and entrepreneurs
- legal professionals, including IP practitioners and litigators
