ADVERTISING
Liking a brand on Facebook is the same as giving it an endorsement, new Federal Trade Commission standards say. “Simply posting a picture of a product in social media, such as on Pinterest, or a video of you using it could convey that you like and approve of the product. If it does, it’s an endorsement,” the FTC said in an updated version of the 2009 endorsement guides. “You don’t necessarily have to use words to convey a positive message.” Last year, Facebook banned marketers from giving consumers incentives in exchange for “likes.”
VC FUNDING + INVESTORS
Advertising firm GumGum raised $26 million in a new round of funding, which values the company at $200 million. The latest round, led by Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital, will move along GumGum’s overseas development and continue to create new products for native, programmatic, and social advertising. GumGum’s previous investors also participated in the new investment, including NEA, Upfront Ventures and First Round Capital.
