Testimonials

“I had read about ASCI – The Advertising Standards Council of India only in my textbooks while pursuing a Bachelor of Mass Media. ASCI seeks to ensure that ads conform to its Code of Self-Regulation.In 2023, I received an opportunity to attend the ASCI Influencer Summit. Several industry experts and influencers shared their knowledge of content vs. ads. Recently, I completed the “ASCI Guide to Responsible Advertising” course and even achieved a certificate post-assessment. The program highlighted the ASCI Code and Guidelines to keep in mind while creating or publishing ads. With numerous case studies and solved FAQs, this course enhanced my understanding of ethical advertising. I would like to thank The Advertising Standards Council of India for this course and even the Xavier Institute Of Communications for keeping alumni members notified about such opportunities.”
