What are the content and approval rules for Norwegian print ads?
Print advertising follows the Marketing Control Act and Consumer Authority standards, requiring truthful, substantiated and non-misleading claims, with clear separation between editorial and advertising. Some categories face restrictions or need supporting evidence. Empire reviews creative against these rules and manages any pre-clearance and approvals with publishers on your behalf.
