Branded email marketing refers to campaigns where a publisher sends commercial emails under its own brand to a list it has developed, but primarily promotes third‑party advertisers rather than the publisher’s own products or services. The consumer has registered or subscribed to receive commercial offers from the publisher or its branded program.
In these campaigns, the publisher’s brand appears as the “face” of the email, while the content highlights third‑party offers. This structure can affect how “sender” responsibilities, consent, and opt‑out obligations are allocated among the publisher and the advertised third parties.
