Not directly because Squid is a proxy server, not a web server.
Content alteration can be done indirectly with ICAP or eCAP content
adapters. But should NOT be done without great care. The redirect you
have going already is the legal way to do notifications, adverts etc.
regardless of situation and is usually acceptable to users.
It is a very bad idea to alter copyright protected content without the
owners permission. Before going further you had best consult a laywer
about Copyright and Trademark infringement if you are being pressed by
management.
Some due diligence from thse who tried before you:

The instant you start altering content it ceases being a transparent
proxy and starts being an MITM attack
