The New FTC: Should You Be Worried?

September 7, 2021 at 2:00pm EST

2021's Federal Trade Commission is taking its most aggressive posture in generations. "Revolutionaries have firmly taken over," opined former FTC Chair Tim Muris. From rescission of a policy current Commissioner's state represented FTC's "longstanding failure to pursue unfair methods of competition," to a bill before Congress to give the FTC broader power to impose monetary penalties, and beyond, keeping current on where the FTC is headed couldn't be more timely. Covington partners Laura Kim and John Graubert are well-positioned to give you their thoughts on what to look for in today's FTC. Laura served in the FTC for 12 years, primarily in the Bureau of Consumer Protection, which enforces against misleading or unfair advertising. John also has past service at FTC and co-chairs Covington's advertising and consumer protection practice group. Laura and John will give insights in a moderated conversation by CHPA's David Spangler.


Webinar Objectives

• Trends in advertising enforcement.
• Both what's in and prospects for H.R. 2668, a bill to provide FTC with greater authority to obtain injunctive and equitable relief in reaction to a Supreme Court case issued in April finding FTC had over-reached in the past, and FTC's more aggressive posture in antitrust oversight.

Culture Keepers: A Vital Evolution in Healthcare Marketing Strategy

October 5, 2021 at 2:00pm EST

Culture Keepers are powerful forces, whether direct or indirect, who influence the cultural influencers. Unlike traditional influencers, Culture Keepers aren’t always people; they can be a trend, philosophy, belief, religion, or even a global pandemic. It is the impact on category overall that changes the lens on brands, treatments, care, category and, consequently the overall decision-making processes and, ultimately, their experience. The influence they exert can be positive or negative, but in the end, they are critical and omnipresent.

In the healthcare space, Culture Keepers have largely been ignored but have been quietly impacting decisions and trends for decades. The current pandemic has significantly elevated their impact, and they have started transcending digital and social channels to change perceptions and alter “reality” despite data, insights, and experiences. It is clear that we are entering an era where cultural influences and influencers will take on a more important role in shaping healthcare, the 3 customer habits that drive it, and the end consumer reaction. This session will share five key factors marketers should focus on.

Webinar Objectives

• Explain the importance of culture (at the macro, meso, and micro levels) and its effect on marketing consumer healthcare products and devices.
• Showcase good (and bad!) examples of brands trying to find their place in the cultural zeitgeist and how it’s either built or backfired on their brand.
• Provide best practices for success.
