© Creative Marketing Communications, Inc.- Q. Do you write official rules for legal compliance for my sweepstakes, contest or game promotion?
A. Yes. CMC keeps up on all current promotion laws as they are interpreted today. CMC’s lawyers know the promotion laws in the US, Canada, and elsewhere internationally, too.

Laws change constantly, so CMC keeps abreast of all legal changes so you don’t have to.
