Reclamecode Social Media & Influencer Marketing (RSM)
Stichting Reclame Code (SRC) · 2024
The Dutch Stichting Reclame Code's Social Media & Influencer Marketing Code (RSM) requires explicit disclosure for any post produced under a 'relevant relationship' with a brand. #ad and #advertentie are the regulator-preferred forms; tagging the brand with '@' alone is not sufficient.
