This is what pisses me off about influencers like Hinch who buy products then proceed to advertise the item without classifying it as #Ad #Advert etc. Just because "money" exchanged hands.
Why aren't they seriously reprimanded ( fined) by the relevant authorities . It's advertising. She is promoting the company , advertising it to her millions of klingons.
I don't give a crap if you bought the item , ie the dog robe , you are still advertising it. For all we know she could have got the item at a discounted price based on units she could shift therefore didn't pay full price.
She is using the 7 functions of advertising each time she talks about a product / service, gifted or not.
Is it that the ASA doesn't understand what is happening? I am seriously at a loss why they are rejecting claims.
Sometimes I feel like we are the only ones who can see the tactics she pulls.
