Hello @kalli,
If the intent of the message is to promote a company sponsored service/offering linked to a brand, and is created and controlled by the sponsor, it is likely subject to advertising regulations regardless of branding elements within the edirect specifically. Remember that when we link advertising and non-advertising, everything becomes advertising. Similarly, when we link branded and unbranded, everything becomes branded.
