Marketing Matters | Silicon Brighton Events

With the ‘Less Healthy Food & Drink’ (LHF) online ad ban set to come into force this October, many restaurant brands are still unsure how these changes will affect their marketing strategies—especially online.
Join us in Brighton for a deep dive into the legislation, what it means for your brand, and how to adapt your marketing before the changes hit.

🔹 One more panelist to be confirmed: we want to bring a creative mind onto the panel, we will announce who that will be in the coming weeks.

### We'll look at:

What the regulation change is.
What is covered, paid social and digital media is included - what will or won't you be allowed to advertise? eg. Pizza will be classed as a HFSS product - how does a pizza brand now tackle advertising?
We'll look at who's legally responsible for getting it right, the brand or the agency.
The question mark on whether even brand messaging is allowed - at the time of writing (April 2025) this is still a question mark.

This is your chance to ask questions, hear from those in the know, and ensure your team is ready for October.
