Episode 77: The Bank Marketing Compliance Risks You’re Missing - Part 2

This week’s COMPLY episode is the final part of a two-part discussion between our own Ashley Cianci, Katie Daley Infante, and Brilene Feyler, as they discuss the latest research that reveals where regulatory and brand risk is hiding across affiliate, publisher, and third-party pages, and why traditional controls miss it.In this episode, we discuss: Ignoring marketing compliance isn't a legal defense: regulators won't accept "we didn't know," and the "ostrich approach" (head in the sand) leads to hefty fines and enforcement actions, not forgiveness. AI and LLMs are amplifying compliance blind spots : over a third of AI-recommended URLs for major brands aren't actually owned by the brand, some point to phishing; consumers treat AI answers as fact without verification. Marketing compliance is a growth enabler, not a blocker: mature programs shift from bottleneck approval processes to upstream guardrails that empower marketers and creators to launch compliant campaigns faster.Show Notes:Catch up on Part 1: https://performline.com/blog-post/episode-76-the-bank-marketing-compliance-risks-youre-missing-part-1 Download the full report, The Top Marketing Compliance Risks for Leading Banks: https://content.performline.com/top-marketing-compliance-risks-for-leading-banksConnect with Ashley Cianci on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashley-cianci/Connect with Brilene Feyler on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brilenefeyler/Connect with Katie Daley Infante on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daleykatherine/Subscribe to PerformLine to stay connected to resources and updates: https://lp.performline.com/subscribe-to-performline

Leon Hoppe - WebSeeds and KickAds Brand Marketing

In this episode of COMPLY, host Rhonda McGill sits down with Leon Hoppe, digital media lead at WebSeeds and founder of KickAds Brand Marketing, to discuss how the intersection of marketing and compliance has evolved over the past two decades. Leon shares how a six-figure demand letter early in his career reshaped his view on compliance—turning what was once an afterthought into a foundational business practice.In this episode, we discuss:Starting compliance early to make compliance part of your marketing culture—not a reaction to a violation.Owning your affiliates’ actions because brands are responsible for what partners send on their behalf; visibility and monitoring tools are non-negotiable.Leveraging technology wisely by using tools like LashBack, and AI-driven creative testing to detect risks and improve deliverability.Staying adaptable because algorithm shifts, privacy updates, and email deliverability changes require constant learning and adjustment.Human oversight still matters, even with AI, compliance teams must verify that generated content aligns with legal and ethical standards.Think long-term by treating compliance like an insurance policy—protecting brand reputation and ensuring sustainable growth.Show NotesConnect with Rhonda: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rhonda-mcgill/Check out Leon’s Compliance Superhero story: https://performline.com/blog-post/compliance-superhero-leon-hoppe/ Subscribe to PerformLine to stay connected to resources and updates: https://lp.performline.com/subscribe-to-performline
