What is “Ambush” Marketing?
“Ambush Marketing” generally refers to marketing and promotional activities by parties unaffiliated with a Property/Event that seek to take advantage of or misappropriate the goodwill and popularity generated by the Property/Event.
![Page 4: Hot Topics in Digital Advertising Guidance for In-House ... · PDF fileHot Topics in Digital Advertising ... –Have them work with host locations to ... engaging in a telemarketing](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030414/5a9f7d7f7f8b9a71178cd1d3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Two General Forms
1) By Association: where an unaffiliated marketer (a) directly associates itself with a Property/Event by using the Property/Event’s logo or name or (b) indirectly associates itself by using generic references to the Property/Event.

What’s Working For the “Associative Marketer”
![Page 24: Hot Topics in Digital Advertising Guidance for In-House ... · PDF fileHot Topics in Digital Advertising ... –Have them work with host locations to ... engaging in a telemarketing](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030414/5a9f7d7f7f8b9a71178cd1d3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
What’s Working for the “Associative” Marketer
• It’s not an “ambush” if you have rights to some official rights holder
• Reluctance to take legal action:– Short campaigns
– Costly
– Potential defenses
– Effective use of disclaimers
– Fear of adverse precedent

Official Sponsors Protecting Their Own Rights
• Be proactive and creative
• Leverage the official assets
- Marketing assets
- Use of official logos
- Access to tickets and VIP events
• Buy advertising time and space – assets beyond the official sponsorship
![Page 27: Hot Topics in Digital Advertising Guidance for In-House ... · PDF fileHot Topics in Digital Advertising ... –Have them work with host locations to ... engaging in a telemarketing](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030414/5a9f7d7f7f8b9a71178cd1d3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Official Sponsors Protecting Their Own Rights
• Have the Property/Event work for you
– Have them work with host locations to establish clean zones
– Have them send “reminder” letters to non-sponsors
– Have them engage in PR activities
– Have them maintain control over event ticketing
![Page 28: Hot Topics in Digital Advertising Guidance for In-House ... · PDF fileHot Topics in Digital Advertising ... –Have them work with host locations to ... engaging in a telemarketing](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030414/5a9f7d7f7f8b9a71178cd1d3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Official Sponsors Protecting Their Own Rights• Incorporate specific reqs. into the sponsorship agreement:
- “The Parties agree and acknowledge that Sponsor has paid valuable consideration for the rights and benefits contained herein and that any dilution or diminution of said rights and benefits seriously impairs Sponsor’s valuable rights. Accordingly, in the event a competitor of Sponsor attempts to associate its name, brand, products, or services in any way with the Event, the Event-Holder will endeavor to stop such actions and take steps it deems reasonably necessary (including but not limited to sending cease and desist notices to the violating party, issuing private and public cease and desist announcements, and filing of appropriate legal actions including but not limited to seeking temporary and permanent injunctive relief) to protect Sponsor’s rights herein.”

Applicable Law
• Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”), 47 USC Section 227
• FCC Regulations, 47 CFR Section 61.1200 et seq.
• FCC 2012 Report and Order
• Case law holding that text messages are “calls” for purposes of TCPA compliance

Restrictions (inter alia…)
• TCPA prohibits a caller from using an automatic telephone dialing system (“ATDS”) to call (or text) a wireless phone service without the called party’s prior express consent.
![Page 43: Hot Topics in Digital Advertising Guidance for In-House ... · PDF fileHot Topics in Digital Advertising ... –Have them work with host locations to ... engaging in a telemarketing](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030414/5a9f7d7f7f8b9a71178cd1d3/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
ATDS
• Defined as equipment which has the capacityto store or produce telephone numbers to be called using a random or sequential number generator and to dial such numbers.

And now (per 2012 Order)…
If the caller is sending an advertisement or engaging in a telemarketing communication to a wireless phone using an ATDS, then the caller needs to called party’s prior written express consent.
![Page 45: Hot Topics in Digital Advertising Guidance for In-House ... · PDF fileHot Topics in Digital Advertising ... –Have them work with host locations to ... engaging in a telemarketing](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030414/5a9f7d7f7f8b9a71178cd1d3/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

New Developments
• On October 1, 2014, Connecticut’s new telemarketing law, Conn. Gen. Stat. §42-288a goes into effect.
• The new law significantly expands Connecticut’s existing “do not call” law and arguably departs from TCPA.
![Page 51: Hot Topics in Digital Advertising Guidance for In-House ... · PDF fileHot Topics in Digital Advertising ... –Have them work with host locations to ... engaging in a telemarketing](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030414/5a9f7d7f7f8b9a71178cd1d3/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
New Developments
• Connecticut’s new law covers not only phone calls and SMS or MMS messages, but also “text or media messages.” – “Text or media message” is defined as “a message that
contains written, audio, video or photographic content and is sent electronically to a mobile telephone or mobile electronic device telephone number…” It does not include email sent to an email address.
• Unclear whether Connecticut intended to reach a broader category of messages than the TCPA with this additional language.

New Developments
• Connecticut may fine marketers up to $20,000 for each violation of its provisions. – The statute is silent on whether each
individual message or voice call would be considered a separate violation.
• New law also allows individuals to sue for violations.

The “WALL" btw Content and Advertising
• Differences
– In graphic design
– In background
– In content
• Only nexus is the overall subject
• No elements of the feature in the ad
• No elements of the ad in the feature
![Page 69: Hot Topics in Digital Advertising Guidance for In-House ... · PDF fileHot Topics in Digital Advertising ... –Have them work with host locations to ... engaging in a telemarketing](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030414/5a9f7d7f7f8b9a71178cd1d3/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
The “WALL" btw Content and Advertising
• A wall between the editorial staff and the advertising staff:
– no advertiser influence or pressure on editorial
– no advertiser knowledge of the specific content
• No evidence any concern by the media that the advertisement and the feature be perceived as an integrated whole
• Knowledge of subject of editorial content adjacent is ok

Product Placement
• The brand does not control the message
• Payment may vary based on how prominent
• Brand may be able to remove itself
• OK to specify will not disparage

Infomercials
Program length commercials
