How touchy is the topic here
Fine in mainstream media; keep it away from anything aimed at under-18s.
No dietary taboo, but label allergens and halal/kosher options if you sell food.
Platform policy, not culture, is the binding constraint: Meta and Google reject most sex-positive creative even where it is legal.
Standard category. Avoid implying loneliness as a defect.
Visible representation is expected from consumer brands; performative Pride without substance is the risk.
Licensed advertising only; most markets require age gating and a responsible-gambling line.
Legal status varies by state/region even inside one country — check before a national buy.
Skin is fine in context; anything that reads as body-shaming is not.
Never as a punchline or a design flourish. Referencing a festival respectfully is different.
Silence is safe, half-commitment is not. If you take a side, be ready to hold it.
Consumer-credit and crypto claims are regulated; 'get rich' framing invites complaints.
Grief-adjacent humour ages badly; never near a live news event.
Basis: generic secular-market defaults. Local legal review still wins.

Opportunity Mother's Day9 May 2027
The second-largest gifting day of the year in most of these markets — flowers, jewellery, restaurants, delivery. Note that the date is NOT global: the UK, France, Spain, Mexico, Poland, Russia and Argentina all use different days.
Greeting: “Happy Mother's Day”
- Do not send one Mother's Day campaign to a global list — you will be a month early or late in half of it
- Avoid 'every mum wants…' framing; gifting is increasingly for any caregiver
- Offer an opt-out from Mother's Day emails — the standard of care since 2019, and it lowers unsubscribes
- Publish delivery cut-offs; flowers and cake logistics sell out days ahead
- Segment out anyone who opted out last year
