Back to Basics: Introducing PromoVeritas

Abi Roman August 16, 2021

Every month our Legal Team will explore the world of prize promotions via our ‘Back to Basics’ series. Giving away rewards and prizes is a key part of the marketing mix and we want to educate and embolden you to take advantage of their benefits without the risk!

In this first of the series, we explain why promotional compliance is essential and what it entails.

Run It Right    

Since 2002 PromoVeritas have run some of the world’s favourite promotions. Over the years we have shaped and implemented thousands of promotions for brands and agencies globally. Our unique blend of legal, marketing, operational and digital expertise ensures that even the most creative of ideas can be run smoothly, fairly and with the least risk to budget or reputation.

We provide peace of mind from promotional disasters, negative feedback, financial risk and legal issues across the world. Backed by a £10m global indemnity insurance policy and ISO27001 data security accreditation, promoters, creative agencies, and their clients, can be reassured that their campaigns are in our safe hands from start to finish.

Why Run a Promotion?

Memorable promotions such as Golden Creme Egg, Cadbury Inventor, Walkers’ Snap & Share, O2 Priority or the TK Maxx White Christmas campaign are great ways to engage with consumers, create awareness and drive sales.

  • Launch new products
