Neutral Policy Ads / by Michel Lubac

As a response to the new European Union regulation prohibiting social issue, electoral, and political ads on Meta platforms, our agency, Philemonday Agency, is committed to helping clients navigate this change. Our solution is the “Neutral Policy Ads Advisory Pack by Philemonday” a service that leverages our expertise in political sciences to craft neutral texts and advertisements.

In today's regulatory landscape, it is more crucial than ever for brands and organizations to communicate effectively while adhering to the law. Our pack of counsel aims to empower clients with the knowledge and tools necessary to adapt their campaigns to the new reality.

By offering a tailored approach that takes into account the specific needs and goals of each client, we can help them transform the constraints imposed by this regulation into an editorial advantage.

Example of transformation (simplified)

Before (high risk)

"Stand up for your environmental rights, act now"

  • After (compliant, informative)

  • "Information on ongoing environmental management programmes"

Before (high risk)

"Let's change the law together"

  • After (compliant, informative)

  • "Presentation of the administrative procedures and public consultations underway"

The idea is not to neutralize your message. The idea is to preserve its legitimacy within a strict legal framework.

For whom?

  • NGOs, associations, foundations

  • Public institutions

  • Media, think tanks

  • Non Profit and GOV actors and committed organizations

In short: any organization that must express itself on societal issues without risking disqualification.
