In Exchange Admin navigate to Mail Flow and then rules, find your rule and then click ‘Edit Rule Conditions’.

Once editing the rule conditions add an email address to exclude from the rule as per the above highlighted element.

For Google Workspace navigate to the Gmail settings in the Admin center and select Routing. Under the Routing section add a rule to exclude specific senders.

Click the add rule button and then configure the new rule.

Ensure that you select Normal Routing under the Change Route options.

Under Show Options select Only affect specific envelope senders and enter the addresses you would like excluded from branding.

And that’s it! Your selected users are now excluded from branding.
