## Non-negotiable: how this must be labelled

CAP Code rule 2.1: "Marketing communications must be obviously identifiable as such." (verified 2 Oct 2026)

**Use one of these labels:** "Ad", "Advert", "Advertising", "Advertisement", "Advertisement Feature" — with or without a hashtag. (verified 22 Sept 2026)

**Do not use:** "Sponsorship", "Sponsored", "Gifted", "Supported by", "Funded by", "In association with", "Thanks to [brand]", @-mentioning the brand alone, and the abbreviations "aff", "affiliate", "spon" and "sp". (verified 22 Sept 2026)
