Brands and Culture: Brand activism is on the rise, according to a survey of marketing decision-makers in the US and UK by Bynder and OnBrand. About 80% of respondents said cultural issues will play more of a role in their branding and marketing strategies this year than in 2017. The uptick in brands becoming more involved in responding to current events reflects the increasing politicization found in the US and UK, where brands get pulled into allying or distancing themselves from controversial statements made by public figures.

In a blog post published March 20, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) cautioned against anticompetitive information sharing in the lead-up to closing a transaction.
The FTC has long held that information sharing between competitors can harm competition in violation of the antitrust laws. This is true even when two companies are in the process of merging. The FTC blog post offers a clear reminder that the obligation to act as competitors does not end until the transaction has actually closed. Even if the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act has expired, premerger information exchanges can raise antitrust risks under Section 1 of the Sherman Act. Until consummation, the parties are separate entities and generally should not share competitively sensitive information.
