Alcohol Advertising and Promotion Code Briefings

11 February 2021

The Advertising Standards Authority is pleased to offer a range of options for briefings on the new Alcohol Advertising and Promotion Code. The Code was released on 16 December 2020 and comes into effect for new ads on 1 April 2021. All ads will need to comply with the new Code by 1 July 2021. 

By attending a briefing, you will:

• Receive an overview of the new Alcohol Advertising and Promotion Code
• Gain an understanding of the key differences between the new Code and the previous Code for Advertising and Promotion of Alcohol
• Understand when and how the requirements of the Alcohol Advertising and Promotion Code will come into effect
• Hear the answers to frequently asked questions regarding the new Code
• Review advertisements and previous decisions from the ASA Complaints Board

These briefings will help ensure your advertising complies with the Codes.  Whether you are new to alcohol advertising, or have been in the industry for some time, these briefings will take you through the key requirements for brands, influencers, media companies and advertising and media agencies. Please forward this email to your colleagues who may be interested in the new Code.

Please consider the options below to determine what suits you.
