The platform is published from the United States where the legal framework is relatively relaxed with respect to branded content.

Green Label is unique in the branded content world in that no paid advertising is directed there. We built its audience from nothing to half a million monthly unique visitors primarily through syndication on Complex.com and other sites, effective SEO, and developing followers on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Other tactics that have built the audience include events, social promotion from influencers covered on the site, and earned media. The audience is 82% male and 50% 18-34 according to Google Analytics, perfectly matching Mountain Dew’s target audience.
