Bespoke Copy Advice is a vital service for advertisers, agencies, media owners and media service providers, who want to check how their prospective non-broadcast ads measure up against the CAP Code.
CAP's Copy Advice team can provide pre-publication advice on any non-broadcast ads or campaigns, at any stage - from concepts to imagery and/or copy, or even just an idea or a question. The aim is to help establish any potential issues early and proactively help find solutions.
Under our commitment to transparency in regulation, we wanted to share some information about the work of our Copy Advice team over the past six months.
