For Insurance Producers
Advertising Compliance
The advertising rules are complex and challenging to manage. State and federal advertising regulations require that you make no misleading statements - and that is particularly critical for your advertising. A misleading statement in advertising is written proof that regulators and plaintiff attorneys can use against you. Don't make it that easy for them!
Summit offers a variety of advertising review services to help you manage your advertising risks, including:
Pre-review and approval of materials
Post-review analysis and recommendations
One-on-one consulting on specific advertising concepts or materials
Advertising training
And much more!
