Everyone comes across advertising at some point in the day. Maybe you remember that special offer you read about in the newspaper this morning, or that funny ad you saw on TV last night. While sitting on a bus, surfing the internet or even walking down the street, you will usually come across some form of advertising. Most of the times advertising reinforces a brand or informs us of a new product or service and usually makes our life more colourful while doing so.

Sometimes, however, you come across ads you don't like

It could be that you’ve seen an ad that you think is misleading or offensive and you want it changed or withdrawn. Your national SRO, short for self-regulatory organisation, can often help to resolve the problem as it acts as a advertising watchdog and handles consumer complaints amongst others.
