Written by Keith Norris, Compliance Consultant, Marketing Association | Aug 6, 2025 10:29:56 PM

As a marketer you understand the importance of measuring conversion rates, campaign budgets and brand awareness. These things are your daily ‘bread and butter’ But there’s another aspect of your responsibilities which is not so obvious…. understanding laws and regulations which affect your marketing and communications. Get them wrong and it could cost you dearly, not only financially but in loss of brand reputation.

This guide will give you easy reference to the key points in plain English. It is not a legal handbook; it is an easy reference to the legislation governing communications with your customers and prospective customers. It has been compiled by the Marketing Association’s compliance advisor, Keith Norris, with the benefit of over 30 years advocating and lobbying for fair laws to protect both business and the consumer.
