Can I use other companies logos for paid advertising?
Hear me out first.
Privasim curates privacy apps and services. I'm planning to do a paid advertising on social media. I'm planning to use other companies' names/logos, basically feature them on the ad.
It's like free advertising for them.
The video at the bottom is what I'm trying to do.

is it possible?
I am not a lawyer so take this with a grain of salt - I would assume this would be okay under these conditions:
You follow their branding guidelines (many companies have them, look for a "press kit" if they don't have something called "branding guidelines")
You make it clear that you support or endorse or are otherwise talking about these companies but that you aren't actually these companies nor are you endorsed by them in any way.
When in doubt, you can ask the companies directly if you're concerned.
I normally contact them first to add them here.

And it is completely fine. In fact they are even happy. If they proceed, you can ask them for an image if needed. I do that. And it works.
so you just notify them by email? what if there's no reply?
I use their logo as it says in the branding page if there is othewise,I wait I wait a week.if they answer
