This new resource for businesses participating in the advertising industry’s system of self-regulation addresses the need for predictability in the length of time a complex case takes from start to finish. NAD Complex Track will reveal greater insight into NAD’s approach and perspective on evidence and arguments presented in a case before the record is closed. This new approach also provides businesses and attorneys who represent them with a streamlined, more efficient approach to reaching a reasonable and fair conclusion.
“Adding the NAD Complex Track process as a new case-choice option for companies reflects our dedication to streamlining the self-regulatory process,” said Laura Brett, Vice President, BBB National Programs’ National Advertising Division and leader of the company’s New York office. “Corporations respect and participate in advertising self-regulation because they understand that the U.S. economy is built on a fair and transparent product marketplace. A key part of our role as the investigative unit of that system is to continue to evolve our processes and remain responsive to the shifting needs of the advertising industry.”
