  • preparing legally compliant terms and conditions of entry
  • preparing and filing permit applications and liaison with state and territory gaming authorities

  • advice and support on issues which may arise during or post the conduct of a trade promotion
  • privacy and spam compliance, and

Naomi also routinely conducts advertising review for a broad range of clients, ensuring their campaigns are compliant with relevant laws and applicable industry codes (including the AANA Code of Ethics, ABAC Responsible Alcohol Marketing Code and other industry specific advertising codes).

Understanding that marketing teams often work within very tight timeframes and budgets, Naomi provides timely, cost effective review and works with her clients to help them meet their production deadlines.  Her practical, solutions-based approach and attention to detail are highly valued by our clients.
