As General Douglas MacArthur once said:
 
“You are remembered for the rules you break.” 
 
He was right. Break any marketing compliance rules in today’s communication battleground and you’re guaranteed to be remembered – just not in a good way. 
 
Marketing compliance, whether it's of the brand, advertising or regulatory kind, can be difficult to get your head around - let alone consistently manage to a high standard.
 
Our core piece of advice to clients about getting it right 'day in day out' relies on nailing these foundations:
 
1. Policies and procedures
 
2. Training and education
 
3. Monitoring and auditing
 
4. Enforcement and accountability
 
5. Software and tools

According to Chiefmarketer, 27% of marketing teams shrank in 2023. 
 
Since there’s been no corresponding reports of a shrinking workload, chances are marketing needs to do more with less. 
 
Because of this, marketing teams are investing in technology to help them perform all those low value, manual tasks that chew up time. 
 
There’s no shortage of productivity tools out there that’s for sure. But skinnier budgets mean any software expenditure needs to deliver substantial ROI. 
 
Digital Asset Management (DAM) software typically delivers exponential returns on investment. 
 
DAMs centralize creative assets so they are not only easier to find, edit and share, but include workflows that make content quicker to create, approve and get out the door. 
 
Rather than chasing assets, feedback and approvals, team members can focus on driving the business forward.

Following a Marketing Workflow is a bit like making a birthday cake.

Both involve creativity…but if you don’t follow a process…things fall flat.

Whether you’re managing a major campaign with hundreds of creative assets or rushing a one-off social ad out the door, you need to make sure it answers the brief, is on brand and approved by legal.

The best way to do this is to have a central online workflow system that is accessible to all and can move as quickly as you need it to. It should allow you to:

1.   Generate a creative brief with budgets, timelines, insights, brand guidelines and existing assets

2.   Ping people for approval

3.   Feed the brief into creative

4.   Comment, make mark ups and compare versions

5.   Approve final work

6.  Store creative in a place where it can always be found, (and holds intel like usage rights, technical details and who approved what when)

They're not as delicious as a birthday cake and never will be, but workflows will make your life a whole lot easier.

Sometimes we tell scary stories. Not the far fetched kind involving things that go bump in the night, but real-life horror stories surrounding marketing compliance breaches, which, if you’re a CMO, can be more frightening than any ghost or jump scare.

Take these recent run-ins between corporations and the FTC and SEC.

The FTC recently ruled Turbotax owner Intuit engaged in deceptive advertising. It claimed the company  "advertised to consumers that they could file their taxes online for free using TurboTax, when in truth, for approximately two-thirds of taxpayers, the advertised claim was false,". The ruling is currently being appealed.

Last month the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ordered nine investment advisory firms to pay a combined $850,000 in civil penalties for advertising hypothetical performance without implementing new policies required by regulators.

The penalties for falling foul of regulators can be chilling. The good news is there are tools available to help make marketing compliance far less dicey. Look for solutions that offer:

Real-time monitoring and alerts 
- Automated compliance checks
- Centralized content review and approval
- Data privacy and protection tools
- Historical archiving and auditing
- Customizable compliance reporting
- Collaboration and communication tools
- Audit trails and tracking

When it comes to marketing resourcing in 2024, are you…

1.  Planning to add more people to your marketing team? 
2.  Decreasing the number of creative assets you manage?
3.  Slowing down your content creation schedule?

If you answered ‘no’ to two of these questions, you might want to look at how MarTech can help make your team more productive.
 
The reality is that most marketing teams will see an increase in inventory and a decrease in resources. Digital Asset Management (DAM) software can help. 

DAMs are more than a way to neatly store creative files. They help you manage the creative process from end-to-end using AI and workflow tools to get approved content out the door fast. Best of all, DAM solutions pay for themselves many times over.

Chasing approvals for creative work can be - quite frankly - infuriating. 

Multiple people, departments, priorities and time zones.

CUSTOMIZED APPROVAL FILTERS
No more sifting through approvals to find the one you need to action.

QUICK SEARCH BAR
No more hunting through your inbox for a specific approval request. Just type in a keyword and you’re there.

SORTING BY DATE
No more missed deadlines. Now you can arrange your approval requests by date, to prioritize time sensitive work.
