Instagram defines branded content as a publisher’s content that gets influenced by another business partner on their page in exchange for something.

Branded content occurs when you post something as an influencer or brand and tag another business account as your business partner. When the other partner approves you tagging them, the post will have the “Paid partnership with” followed by their name to imply that you’ve collaborated with them to post on your platform.
