I complain to the ASA sometimes, I know it sounds a bit sad but I find sly advertising really deceptive. I once reported Billie and there was a bit of a telling off, I think they told me they warned her and gave her guidance on how to advertise that she’s being paid. Always worth reportingThis has maybe been done before, I had a search but couldn’t see anything.
But do the asa rules not apply to them (Billie & Samantha, Lucy Mecklenburgh, Jess Wright to name a few) their Instagram feeds are all full of ‘from my collection with xxxxx’ and very rarely is there an #ad.
And same for gifts, they are never marked. They mention brands but never #gift etc.
Has anyone ever done a complaint to the asa or is it pointless?
