Scoop has an Ethical Paywall
The Advertising Standards Authority annual report
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has released its 2017 annual report.
Over half the complaints related to misleading claims in advertisements and just under 20% of complaints were about taste and decency issues.
Therapeutic and health products and services led the complaints by category, followed by food & beverages and entertainment advertising. Complaints about television advertising led the media category, followed by advertiser websites and digital advertising (including social media).
The report includes a list of the five most complained about ads for 2017. The number one spot was taken by a television advertisement for V Energy that complainants considered showed a disregard for safety.
