Social media influencers must obtain a license from ADDED to conduct advertising activities through online platforms.
Economic establishments are required to secure a permit from ADDED before initiating any form of advertising, including promotional and marketing activities.
Economic entities must ensure they possess a valid license issued by ADDED when entering into contracts with influencers and social media platforms.
