SUMMARY
It has become increasingly important for advertisers and legal practitioners to understand the importance and the legal distinction between acceptable marketing practices and prohibited ones.
Promotional strategies devised by non-sponsors of events usually have to navigate the complex waters of capitalizing on popular events, without infringing on official sponsor’s rights.
This program will focus on:
- Definition of ambush marketing,
- Accepted practices vs. prohibited ones,
- Decision-making process for advertisers and legal counsel departments when considering sponsorship a major sports event,
- Practical cases of ambush marketing practices in major recent sporting events such as the 2018 FIFA World Cup,
- And, more!
