Learning Paths

Digital media legal compliance

Make sure your marketing complies with digital media laws to protect your brand and customers

Module purpose

Digital content and experiences published across diverse media, from mobile apps and websites to email to social media, are subject to many laws. It can be so easy to create a branded meme of a celebrity to ‘jump on the bandwagon’ of a viral trend, but did you know that you could be putting your brand at risk of legal repercussions?

As marketers or business owners, we need to be aware of and ensure we comply with the laws relating to digital marketing to avoid incurring fines and reputational brand damage.
