L03: Advertising Standards

ASA and Ofcom

In accordance with the AS and Ofcom's ruling on advertising to children (under 16), which my adverting campaign does as the target audience partly cover this, I have ensured that my adverts do not encourage children to be in a position where they can harm themselves, or go to dangerous places or meet strangers. I have ensured that my adverts are not targeting vulnerable members of the audience a wide range of girls from a variety of backgrounds, not focussing on any that would be impressionable etc. Although my adverts encourage people to join, this is mainly through connotations, and so I have not made people feel like that have to join out of duty or loyalty, which is again an ASA code.

In my poster advertisement I state 'MEET YOUR #innerwarrior'. Although this has connotations of a slim and fit individual, I have included girls of a variety of body types in all advertisements to ensure that this is not encouraged - all body types can play, and they shouldn't have to change their body.
