Advertising_Guidelines_Advertisement_Features.txt
3.1 Advertisement Features,faculdade jogo as the name implies, are advertisements that are presented in an editorial style. They are paid for by the advertiser and under their control. Sometimes they are referred to as an advertiser's 'microsite', as an advertorial, 'paid for' content, or as native advertising. 'Branded Content' is a generic term which could be used to describe an Advertisement Features amongst other activities. Its use should be avoided where a more specific term is available. 3.2 Advertiser Funded Programmes are not a form of Advertisement Feature and are covered in the section on Sponsorship. (See 4.14-4.16) 3.3 Advertisement Features must: a) be on a subject matter that is appropriate for the relevant audience b) be of an appropriate quality to be published alongside BBC content c) not influence, or reasonably be perceived to have influenced, the editorial content of the service or publication d) not imply endorsement of any product or service by the BBC e) not feature the BBC brand, that is the BBC name, logos, titles, channel names, programme titles, formats or characters, sets, music or catchphrases and any other identifiable BBC content except if this is a reference to a relevant joint promotion or relevant licenced BBC product or service. (See 3.9) 3.4 Advertisement Features must remain distinct from the editorial content, so that the consumer knows it is advertising and not editorial. It may be written and designed by editorial staff. However, BBC staff (and those of our licensees) and regular contributors should not be given a by-line for any Advertisement Feature they write, nor should they be featured by name or photograph. A production credit (for a non-editorial BBC department) may be included in a secondary position, normally at the foot or end of the content. 3.5 Advertisement Features must be clearly and prominently labelled as advertising at the top of the content. Where video content is posted to a BBC social media account, the Advertisement Feature must be labelled throughout. The label 'Advertisement Feature' should normally be used in all cases, unless other wording has been agreed in advance by the Advertising Governance Committee. 3.6 Advertisement Features must only include BBC on-air talent where written confirmation has been obtained from the on-air talent (or their agent) that there is no conflict and that they have the necessary permission to undertake the work (if appropriate). The restrictions that apply to advertisements by on-air talent can be found in the BBC Editorial Guidelines and associated Editorial Guidance Notes. Normally, regular BBC presenters are contractually required to adhere to the BBC's Conflicts of Interest policy and to seek permission from the BBC for any advertising commitments. Staff, and regular magazine or website contributors should not appear in Advertisement Features in their publication or on their service, unless it is advertising for a joint promotion or licenced BBC product or service. (See Editorial Guidelines sections 4.4.35-4.4.42 Conflicts of Interest: On-air talent and Others with a Prominent On-Air role: promotional activity including commercial advertising and endorsements.)

See section 3.11 3.8 The creative execution of all Advertisement Features must also be approved by the Advertising Standards Guardian who must ensure the relevant editor has approved it.
