The strange world of social media and social media advertising is a confusing place.On one hand it feels like the aesthetic world of your super-sized Coachella dreams where you can run free and paint your face, but on the other hand, the Federal Trade Commission has ("FTC") slapping rules into place that may seem unnecessary (like explicitly stating when posts are sponsored even when it seems really, really, obvious).What's more is that the FTC Guidelines are constantly changing to keep the pace with media platforms so what may have been O.K. yesterday could get you a hefty fine today.

Luckily for you the team of Pfeiffer Law Corp is on the case and are determined to make understanding and following the FTC's rules as effortless as hitting "Snooze" in the morning.We've created a series of comprehensive flowcharts and Influencer "Do's and Don'ts" to keep you in the loop of what is in and what is out.
