Read before you decide
- AppliedConsent for email, SMS and messaging: CAN-SPAM, the TCPA, CASL, PECR and WhatsAppWhich rule decides whether you may send a marketing email, text or WhatsApp message, how the US opt-out model differs from the opt-in rules of Canada, the UK and the EU, where the TCPA stands in 2026, what the platforms add, and a consent checklist to run before the next send. General information, not legal advice.
- FoundationEmail 101: permission, the inbox and the rules that guard itEmail marketing reaches people who chose to hear from you, on a list you own. Whether it works depends on three things: consent that meets each country's law, authentication that Gmail, Yahoo and Outlook now require from bulk senders, and messages relevant enough that readers stay subscribed.
- FoundationAdvertising 101: television, radio, print and cinemaHow paid brand advertising in the traditional media works, who does what between the creative and the media side, how it is bought and measured, what it costs, and the rules that apply before an advert goes on air.
