CREATIVE REVIEW · Workflow idea

Make product imagery distinctive without copying another brand or misleading a shopper.

For work involving cleared product photographs and proposed visual advertising concepts, start with a defined purpose and check the evidence before taking the next step. Prepare visual ad concepts from approved product images and an original creative brief. Competitor references and product images may be protected, and edits can imply features that do not exist. Clear all assets and trademarks, avoid imitation and unsupported claims, preserve accurate product details, disclose material alterations where appropriate, and require the brand owner to approve the final ad and placement.
