The night before the ON Brand conference 2023, I sent LinkedIn messages to Ross Asdourian and several other presenters, a good way to meet before the buzz began.
Asking to connect, I referred to his “unexpected enthusiasm for otters” as listed in his biography and mentioned that our Henry Doorly Zoo had otters on display. I found it amusing that he mentioned a sea animal in his writeup. It seems that otter stories remain to be told or are better left unsaid. Read More

As you know, multiple states have passed privacy laws in the first half of 2023. As a resource for AAF members, our partners at Venable and Privacy for America have created this document outlining the major provisions of each of the newly enacted state laws. These new laws are in addition to already existing privacy requirements in many states and add to the increasing complexity and challenges encountered by businesses and other organizations as they navigate the legal environment, and further underscores the need for a single national privacy law as supported by the AAF.

“Light beer shouldn’t taste like water.” That’s the claim Molson Coors can no longer make in its advertising for Miller Lite beer. The Council of Better Business Bureaus’ National Programs’ National Advertising Review Board advised the brewer in an appeal case to stop making the claim, thus upholding a similar decision made by National Programs’ National Advertising Division. The NAD decision came about after the claim “Light beer shouldn’t taste like water. It should taste like beer” was challenged by Anheuser Busch. In their findings the NAD concluded that the claim made by Molson Coors was comparable (i.e., “tastes like water” compared to “does not taste like water”) and was therefore “measurable.” As such, the NAD determined that substantiation was required, a finding echoed by the NARB who concluded that “no substantiation for the claim was provided by Molson Coors, nor did it provide any consumer research regarding its argument that reasonable consumers would not take away a comparative claim.” Compliance with NARB’s and NAD’s decisions is voluntary; however, the CBBB reports a compliance rate of more than 95 percent.
