Advertising, Marketing & Media

Hundreds of emerging technologies are changing the rules of advertising.  So how can you harness these breakthroughs to market your products efficiently, effectively and within both the written and “unwritten” law? 

Through every milestone of the marketing life cycle, Manatt will help you establish and protect rock solid, competitive, proprietary campaigns and product positioning platforms.  Whether you have an established brand that is protecting and expanding its market share, or a new product that needs a revolutionary marketing approach, Manatt will provide the guidance you need to make the boldest and most effective competitive statements. 

And as spending shifts from mass media traditional advertising to targeted alternative advertising that incorporates user-generated content, blogs, incentivized viral messages, mobile text messages and social networking communities, we’ll help you navigate this uncharted legal territory.  Because we’ve honed the issues, tracked the trends and anticipated how government regulators are likely to react, we can provide the insight you need to inform your decisions. 

Here is what the leading legal publications say about Manatt’s advertising practice: 

“(Manatt’s) primary focus is on the representation of brands in their advertising efforts across media platforms, wedding IP expertise to considerable experience in regulatory matters before the FTC and National Advertising Division (NAD), and a strong presence in advertising litigation..”  - Legal 500

 “(Manatt’s) clear specialty lies in examining claims being made through advertising, both stated and implied, and it is also seen as one of the most active (firms) at NAD.”
