EU DSA Article 28 belongs to Marketing and refers to a marketing concept. A shared definition keeps the team aligned.

## How it operates

Hold that thought.EU DSA Article 28 is no fixed dial. How it behaves depends on your audience, your channel mix, and the strategy around it.

Think of EU DSA Article 28 as context-bound. A small shop reads it simply; an enterprise reads it with more nuance. That is normal -- EU DSA Article 28 is shaped by audience and channel mix. Read EU DSA Article 28 without care and the plan wobbles; be precise and the read holds.

The working rule is plain. Agree what EU DSA Article 28 covers first, then act on it. Skip that order and EU DSA Article 28 loses its shared meaning, and two teams end up measuring two different things. Keep this in mind.
