Where it helps
The International Chamber of Commerce’s Advertising and Marketing Communications Code is a self-regulatory standard used as a base in many countries. It is not itself the law where you work. It says marketing should be legal, decent, honest and truthful. The 2024 edition covers advertising, digital messages, sales promotion and social media, and it covers AI. A claim should not mislead, including by leaving something out or by exaggerating, and a picture that misleads because it was altered or generated should not be used. Your own rules may be stricter. Check a price, a comparison and a photo before you send them.
