3 class-action lawsuits filed in 2025 alone against brands and influencers are seeking a total of $1 billion in alleged damages, and influencers are STILL not clearly disclosing partnerships!

Revolve, and 3 of their influencers, are facing a $50-million lawsuit for deceptive influencer marketing practices, failing to disclose their partnerships with the brand.

Why is the Federal Trade Commission not enforcing sustainability claims the way the FDA enforces nutritional claims?

There would be an uprising if food & beverage companies acted the way advertisers act with sustainability claims.

Why are we not more infuriated about brands lying about their sustainability claims?!

I don't say this lightly, but from what I'm seeing, content creators and influencers are the greatest risk to the integrity of marketing. Marketing Ethics & Integrity Advisors are the future of compliant and trustworthy influencer campaigns.

Heading into 2025, there are two #AdvertisingLaw issues that stand out and are top of mind for me:
1. Environmental claims (greenwashing)
2. The FTC's enforcement of consumer reviews & testimonials

Here's my full take.
