Our team of highly trained advisers can offer an informed view of the likely acceptability of your non-broadcast marketing communications under the CAP Code. All our advisers have been trained to fully understand the CAP Code and how it is interpreted by the ASA. They keep abreast of complaints made to the ASA and the watchdog’s subsequent decisions, whether or not the ASA Council upheld the complaint.
Contact our Copy Advice Team on 020 7492 2100, between 9am and 5.30pm, Monday to Friday. The team can give basic advice on copy or general advice about the Code over the phone. For more detailed advice, please upload your copy here.
Please note: although it is given by the team in good faith, our advice is not binding on the ASA or CAP and our advisors do not give legal advice.
