INTRODUCTION
• In this era of globalization and deregulation,
advertising has acquired a new status.
• As a matter of fact, advertising creates
employment opportunities, provides
information regarding the developments taking
place in the society, contributes to economic
growth, and provides information about
products and services available in the market
which helps in taking buying decisions.
Ethics
Ethics is a branch of philosophy which seeks
to address questions about morality; that
is, about concepts such as good and
bad, right and wrong, justice, and
virtue.
HOW ETHICAL ISSUES ARISE IN ADVERTISING
An advertisement of Nestle India Ltd (Maggie healthy
soup) claimed that “Happy Heart” “Healthy Soup”.
The claim created an impression that consumption of
Maggie soup leads to better heart and health, while on
testing by independent agency, it has been found that it
contains high levels of salt which releases sodium into
body which in turn, causes hypertension and high blood
pressure instead of good heart and health.
Therefore, on complaint, ASCI declared the
advertisement as case of misleading by implication and
ambiguity. Therefore, Nestle India Ltd assured ASCI to
modify its advertisements.
Advertisement is considered unethical in the
following situations:
o When it has degraded or underestimated the
substitute or rival's product.
o When it gives false or misleading information on
the value of the product.
o When it fails to give useful information on the
possible reaction or side effects of the product. And
o When it is immoral.

WAYS OF UNETHICAL ADVERTISEMENT
SURROGATE ADVERTISING
Surrogate advertising is prominently seen in cases where
advertising a particular product is banned by law.
Advertisement for products like cigarettes or alcohol which are
injurious to heath are prohibited by law in several countries
and hence these companies have to come up with several other
products that might have the same brand name and indirectly
remind people of the cigarettes or beer bottles of the same
brand Common examples include:
Fosters and Kingfisher beer brands, which are often seen to
promote their brand with the help of surrogate advertising.
PUFFERY ADVERTISING
• Puffery as a legal term refers to
promotional statements and claims that
express subjective rather than objective
views, such that no reasonable person
would take literally.
• A two-year old might believe that polar
bears enjoy sipping Coca-Cola, but we know
better .
What do you think on this one? To me, there are two instances of
puffery here: "Serving the Best" and the actual brand of "Seattle's Best."
I'd say it is fairly obvious why these two phrases were chosen --
Starbucks is the coffee king of Seattle. So what better way to try and
compete than make your brand claim that there is nothing better out
there. Both of these claims are puffery, however, because -- based on
my simple working definition above -- neither claim can be positively
proved or disproved, or they are simply opinions.
EXAGGERATION
• Using false claims in the advertisements about the
product.
• For example:-Ghari detergent - “Pehle Istemaal kare
phir vishvaas kare.”, Tide detergent – “White ho to
Tide ho.”, Vodafone Essar – “Wherever you go our
network follows.”
White ho to
Tide ho.
One Drop Challenge Wherever you go our
network follows.
UNVERIFIED CLAIMS
• It includes advertisements of “energy drinks” which
tells us about the number of vitamins and how they
help children to grow strong and tall.
• There is no way of verifying these false claims.
• For example:-Horlicks, Maltova, Tiger biscuits.
WOMEN IN
ADVERTISING
Women are generally associated with household works
and is not supposed to be a good decision maker which
contributes to women stereotyping.
WOMEN STEREOTYPING
Women shown as doing domestic work which
reflects stereotype image of women.
Women in advertising used as sex symbols
Amul macho
Axe dark temptation
UNHEALTHY BRAND COMPARISONS
• Nowadays advertisers are engaged in unhealthy
brand comparison with the help of advertising.
• Such comparisons create problems and confusions
for the right choice of the product as far as
audience are concerned.
• Example can be cited of colgate and pepsodent
toothpaste.
Colgate Vs Pepsodent
Complan Vs Horlicks
Coca cola Vs Pepsi
CHILDREN IN ADVERTISING
• Children are easily
persuaded and have a
large pull on today's
markets, as is known by
all advertisers, even ones
who do not intend for
their products to be
consumed by children.

CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS AS TARGET GROUPS
The children’s market where resistance to advertising
is weakest is the “pioneer for ad creep”.
” Kids are among the most sophisticated observers of ads.
They can sing the jingles and identify the logos,
and they often have strong feelings about products.
What they generally don't understand, however, are the
issues that underlie how advertising works.

PERSPECTIVES ON ADS FOR CHILDREN
NEWSPAPER ADS
A wine bottle that is considered ethically wrong because the lorry may have to move
to certain places where drinking is unethical
AXE ADVERTISEMENT
Another Example of AXE a product of HUL, Vaibhav Bedi had
been using AXE Deodorant for the past seven years, but
didn’t able to grab the girls attention.
Axe advertisements suggest that the products help men in
instantly attracting women.
In what could prove to be a major marketing and legal
embarrassment for Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL), a 26-
year-old man has filed a case against the FMCG company,
which owns the Axe brand of men grooming products, for
‘cheating’ and causing him ‘mental suffering’.
Vaibhav Bedi, the petitioner, also surrendered all his used,
unused and half-used deodorant sprays, perfume sticks and
roll-ons, anti-perspirants, aftershaves, body washes,
shampoos, and hair gels to the court, and demanded a
laboratory test of the products and narcotics test of the brand
managers of Axe
RECKITT BENCKISER’S DETTOL KITCHEN AD
TAKES ON HUL’S VIM
• Reckitt Benckiser, the launching commercial for its
Dettol Kitchen dishwashing and kitchen cleaning
gel shows rival Hindustan Unilever’s Vim dishwash
liquid clearly, in a move that may trigger a new
advertising war between the two European
multinationals. Skirmishes between the two firms
have been veiled in the past, although both have
repeatedly taken each other to court and
advertising watchdog Advertising Standards
Council of India (ASCI).
• “Such ads gives a very strong message
psychologically that it’s not just another product
and they can compete with the market leader.
While HUL almost has a monopoly in the segment,
there could be more action now in an otherwise
dull segment,” In general, the consumer
complaints council code allows ads to show a rival
brand as long as the claims made in the ad are
fact-based,”. Reckitt Benckiser has positioned
Dettol Kitchen as a ‘complete kitchen cleaner’, for
use as a dish-washing gel and cleaning other
kitchen surfaces like sinks and slabs.
HORLICKS VS COMPLAN
• The ad started with a scene inside the classroom
where the teacher is taking the attendance.
• The teacher calls out " Calcium" then a group of
students raise their hands, then she calls out " Iron
" another group raises their hands.
• Then the voice over talks about the deficiency of
nutrients seen in kids.
• Then comes the critical part, a Doctor ( model)
comes to the picture and talks about 23 vital
nutrients that is necessary for the growth and
claims that these nutrients are present in HORLICKS.
• Horlicks is trying to negate the core
differentiation of Complan .
• Complan since its inception has been harping on
the 23 vital nutrients. Now Horlicks is trying to
create parity by claiming the same property.
• Complan has never been so aggressive and
blunt.
RIN VS TIDE
• This is the first time that HUL has directly
compared Tide with Rin. The Ad even have the
tagline "Rin offers Better whiteness than Tide".
P&G has took HUL to court over this ad. This ad
was timed to coincide with the long weekend
so that HUL could play the ad before the Court
hearing.
UNETHICAL ADVERTISING IN CASE OF RIN
• Now the outcome of the ad war will be that HUL will
be retrained by ASCII or the Court from further
playing the ad .
• It means that Rin had adapted an unethical means
against the competitor which will cause an
unwarranted blemish on the brand reputation.
• Second outcome is that it will encourage Tide to be
more aggressive in the market. Tide now has been
officially and publically acknowledged as the
competitor for Rin.
COKE VS PEPSI
• Both made fun of their respective
advertisements. (Eg: Main Youngistaan se aaya
hun)
• Pouching of Employees from both sides
• Making fun of celebrities used in advertisement.
(Eg: Official Drink & Not an Official Drink)
• Mostly in advertisement of Sprite & Mountain
Dew.

Ethical Issues in Advertising

  • 2. INTRODUCTION • In this era of globalization and deregulation, advertising has acquired a new status. • As a matter of fact, advertising creates employment opportunities, provides information regarding the developments taking place in the society, contributes to economic growth, and provides information about products and services available in the market which helps in taking buying decisions.
  • 3. Ethics Ethics is a branch of philosophy which seeks to address questions about morality; that is, about concepts such as good and bad, right and wrong, justice, and virtue.
  • 4. HOW ETHICAL ISSUES ARISE IN ADVERTISING An advertisement of Nestle India Ltd (Maggie healthy soup) claimed that “Happy Heart” “Healthy Soup”. The claim created an impression that consumption of Maggie soup leads to better heart and health, while on testing by independent agency, it has been found that it contains high levels of salt which releases sodium into body which in turn, causes hypertension and high blood pressure instead of good heart and health. Therefore, on complaint, ASCI declared the advertisement as case of misleading by implication and ambiguity. Therefore, Nestle India Ltd assured ASCI to modify its advertisements.
  • 5. Advertisement is considered unethical in the following situations: o When it has degraded or underestimated the substitute or rival's product. o When it gives false or misleading information on the value of the product. o When it fails to give useful information on the possible reaction or side effects of the product. And o When it is immoral. UNETHICAL ADVERTISING
  • 6. BASIC PRINCIPALS OF ADVERTISING • Decency • Honesty • Social Responsibility • Truthful presentation • Comparisons • Imitation • Safety and health • Avoidance of Harm • Environmental behavior
  • 7. ADVERTISING AND UNTRUTHFUL OR DECEPTIVE General mistrust of advertising among consumers. Many do not perceive ads as honest or believable General mistrust of advertising among consumers. Many do not perceive ads as honest or believable Abuses involving sales promotions such as contests, sweepstakes, premium offers Abuses involving sales promotions such as contests, sweepstakes, premium offers Unethical and/or deceptive practices involving mail order, telemarketing and other forms of direct marketing Unethical and/or deceptive practices involving mail order, telemarketing and other forms of direct marketing Internet scams and abusesInternet scams and abuses
  • 8. • Surrogate advertisement • Puffery • Exaggeration • Unverified claims • Women stereotyping • Women used as sex symbols for promoting products • Comparative advertisements • Use of children in advertising WAYS OF UNETHICAL ADVERTISEMENT
  • 9. SURROGATE ADVERTISING Surrogate advertising is prominently seen in cases where advertising a particular product is banned by law. Advertisement for products like cigarettes or alcohol which are injurious to heath are prohibited by law in several countries and hence these companies have to come up with several other products that might have the same brand name and indirectly remind people of the cigarettes or beer bottles of the same brand Common examples include: Fosters and Kingfisher beer brands, which are often seen to promote their brand with the help of surrogate advertising.
  • 10.
  • 11. PUFFERY ADVERTISING • Puffery as a legal term refers to promotional statements and claims that express subjective rather than objective views, such that no reasonable person would take literally. • A two-year old might believe that polar bears enjoy sipping Coca-Cola, but we know better .
  • 12.
  • 13. What do you think on this one? To me, there are two instances of puffery here: "Serving the Best" and the actual brand of "Seattle's Best." I'd say it is fairly obvious why these two phrases were chosen -- Starbucks is the coffee king of Seattle. So what better way to try and compete than make your brand claim that there is nothing better out there. Both of these claims are puffery, however, because -- based on my simple working definition above -- neither claim can be positively proved or disproved, or they are simply opinions.
  • 14.
  • 15. EXAGGERATION • Using false claims in the advertisements about the product. • For example:-Ghari detergent - “Pehle Istemaal kare phir vishvaas kare.”, Tide detergent – “White ho to Tide ho.”, Vodafone Essar – “Wherever you go our network follows.” White ho to Tide ho. One Drop Challenge Wherever you go our network follows.
  • 16.
  • 17. UNVERIFIED CLAIMS • It includes advertisements of “energy drinks” which tells us about the number of vitamins and how they help children to grow strong and tall. • There is no way of verifying these false claims. • For example:-Horlicks, Maltova, Tiger biscuits.
  • 18.
  • 20. Women are generally associated with household works and is not supposed to be a good decision maker which contributes to women stereotyping. WOMEN STEREOTYPING
  • 21. Women shown as doing domestic work which reflects stereotype image of women.
  • 22.
  • 23. Women in advertising used as sex symbols
  • 24.
  • 25. Amul macho Axe dark temptation
  • 26. UNHEALTHY BRAND COMPARISONS • Nowadays advertisers are engaged in unhealthy brand comparison with the help of advertising. • Such comparisons create problems and confusions for the right choice of the product as far as audience are concerned. • Example can be cited of colgate and pepsodent toothpaste.
  • 27. Colgate Vs Pepsodent Complan Vs Horlicks Coca cola Vs Pepsi
  • 28. CHILDREN IN ADVERTISING • Children are easily persuaded and have a large pull on today's markets, as is known by all advertisers, even ones who do not intend for their products to be consumed by children.
  • 29. Children's TV Watching BehaviorChildren's TV Watching Behavior Children ages 2-11 watch an average of 22 hours of TV per week and see 30,000 commercials per year Children ages 2-11 watch an average of 22 hours of TV per week and see 30,000 commercials per year 80% of all advertising targeted to children falls in four product categories: Toys, cereal, candy & fast food restaurants 80% of all advertising targeted to children falls in four product categories: Toys, cereal, candy & fast food restaurants
  • 30. CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS AS TARGET GROUPS The children’s market where resistance to advertising is weakest is the “pioneer for ad creep”. ” Kids are among the most sophisticated observers of ads. They can sing the jingles and identify the logos, and they often have strong feelings about products. What they generally don't understand, however, are the issues that underlie how advertising works.
  • 31. Advocates Argue That Children:Advocates Argue That Children: Marketers Argue Children:Marketers Argue Children: Lack the knowledge and skills to evaluate advertising claims Lack the knowledge and skills to evaluate advertising claims Cannot differentiate between programs and commercials Cannot differentiate between programs and commercials Must learn through socialization Must learn through socialization Must acquire skills needed to function in the marketplace Must acquire skills needed to function in the marketplace PERSPECTIVES ON ADS FOR CHILDREN

  • 34. A wine bottle that is considered ethically wrong because the lorry may have to move to certain places where drinking is unethical
  • 35. AXE ADVERTISEMENT Another Example of AXE a product of HUL, Vaibhav Bedi had been using AXE Deodorant for the past seven years, but didn’t able to grab the girls attention. Axe advertisements suggest that the products help men in instantly attracting women. In what could prove to be a major marketing and legal embarrassment for Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL), a 26- year-old man has filed a case against the FMCG company, which owns the Axe brand of men grooming products, for ‘cheating’ and causing him ‘mental suffering’. Vaibhav Bedi, the petitioner, also surrendered all his used, unused and half-used deodorant sprays, perfume sticks and roll-ons, anti-perspirants, aftershaves, body washes, shampoos, and hair gels to the court, and demanded a laboratory test of the products and narcotics test of the brand managers of Axe

  • 38. RECKITT BENCKISER’S DETTOL KITCHEN AD TAKES ON HUL’S VIM
  • 39. • Reckitt Benckiser, the launching commercial for its Dettol Kitchen dishwashing and kitchen cleaning gel shows rival Hindustan Unilever’s Vim dishwash liquid clearly, in a move that may trigger a new advertising war between the two European multinationals. Skirmishes between the two firms have been veiled in the past, although both have repeatedly taken each other to court and advertising watchdog Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI).
  • 40. • “Such ads gives a very strong message psychologically that it’s not just another product and they can compete with the market leader. While HUL almost has a monopoly in the segment, there could be more action now in an otherwise dull segment,” In general, the consumer complaints council code allows ads to show a rival brand as long as the claims made in the ad are fact-based,”. Reckitt Benckiser has positioned Dettol Kitchen as a ‘complete kitchen cleaner’, for use as a dish-washing gel and cleaning other kitchen surfaces like sinks and slabs.
  • 41. HORLICKS VS COMPLAN • The ad started with a scene inside the classroom where the teacher is taking the attendance. • The teacher calls out " Calcium" then a group of students raise their hands, then she calls out " Iron " another group raises their hands. • Then the voice over talks about the deficiency of nutrients seen in kids. • Then comes the critical part, a Doctor ( model) comes to the picture and talks about 23 vital nutrients that is necessary for the growth and claims that these nutrients are present in HORLICKS.
  • 42. • Horlicks is trying to negate the core differentiation of Complan . • Complan since its inception has been harping on the 23 vital nutrients. Now Horlicks is trying to create parity by claiming the same property. • Complan has never been so aggressive and blunt.
  • 43.
  • 44.
  • 45. RIN VS TIDE • This is the first time that HUL has directly compared Tide with Rin. The Ad even have the tagline "Rin offers Better whiteness than Tide". P&G has took HUL to court over this ad. This ad was timed to coincide with the long weekend so that HUL could play the ad before the Court hearing.
  • 46. UNETHICAL ADVERTISING IN CASE OF RIN • Now the outcome of the ad war will be that HUL will be retrained by ASCII or the Court from further playing the ad . • It means that Rin had adapted an unethical means against the competitor which will cause an unwarranted blemish on the brand reputation. • Second outcome is that it will encourage Tide to be more aggressive in the market. Tide now has been officially and publically acknowledged as the competitor for Rin.
  • 47. COKE VS PEPSI • Both made fun of their respective advertisements. (Eg: Main Youngistaan se aaya hun) • Pouching of Employees from both sides • Making fun of celebrities used in advertisement. (Eg: Official Drink & Not an Official Drink) • Mostly in advertisement of Sprite & Mountain Dew.
