Forum Update: Supporting Community-Led Discussion
The forum was created as a space for shared learning and peer support, and as the community grows, we want to lean more fully into that purpose.
Going forward, PAAB will be taking a more listening-first role in forum discussions. Rather than responding immediately to every question, we’ll be encouraging members to engage with one another, share experiences, and help build collective understanding. PAAB will continue to monitor conversations and will step in to:
- Correct any misunderstandings
- Provide guidance when questions remain unanswered after a few days
- Support discussions where official clarification is needed
Our goal is to foster a collaborative, trusted community where knowledge is shared and strengthened by everyone’s contributions.
Thank you for being part of the conversation.
Brand colours in the PM

Hi PAAB! According to the promotional monograph guidance doc (http://www.paab.ca/resources/pdfs/code-revision/Guidance_on_Promotional_Monographs.pdf) “a product monograph wrapped in a simple cover (e.g. brand colours) does not require PAAB review”. We were wondering if this treatment may extend to the pages of the PM such that that brand colours are also added to the subheadings/tables/etc, without changing any text or creating any undue emphasis on specific sections? Thanks

Good morning @gbrl88
The treatment does not extend beyond the cover. The reason for this, is that it can be easy to unintentionally emphasize a heading, chart, graphic etc, through the addition of colour.
