Why creators need brand deal contracts
A brand deal contract protects both the creator and the brand. Without one, you risk scope creep, delayed payments, and unclear usage rights.
Usage rights matter. Define exactly where the brand can use your content and for how long. Perpetual usage rights are worth significantly more than 30-day rights.
FTC compliance is non-negotiable. Our contracts always include FTC disclosure requirements. Failing to disclose sponsored content can result in fines for both you and the brand.

What is a brand deal contract?
A brand deal contract (also called a sponsorship agreement or influencer contract) is a legal document that formalizes the terms of a paid partnership between a content creator and a brand. It specifies deliverables, content platforms, posting schedules, compensation, usage rights, exclusivity terms, and FTC disclosure requirements. Brand deal contracts protect creators from scope creep and late payments while giving brands confidence that they will receive the agreed-upon content.
Influencers, YouTubers, TikTok creators, Instagram creators, and any content creator working with brands need contracts for every paid partnership. Whether you are posting a single sponsored Instagram story or producing a multi-platform campaign with whitelisting and exclusivity, a written contract ensures both sides understand the deal terms before any content is created.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I charge for usage rights?
Usage rights typically add 25-100% to your base rate depending on duration and platforms. 30 days on brand's social is standard; perpetual rights across all platforms commands a premium.
Should I include exclusivity?
Only if the brand pays for it. Exclusivity limits your income from competitors, so it should be compensated. Always specify the category and duration.
What's a kill fee?
A kill fee is what the brand pays if they cancel the deal after signing. 50% is standard. It compensates you for turning down other opportunities.
Why is FTC compliance always enabled?
FTC disclosure is legally required for sponsored content in the U.S. Failing to disclose can result in fines for both creator and brand. We keep this clause always-on to protect both parties.
What's whitelisting and how much should I charge?
Whitelisting allows the brand to run paid ads through your social media account. It leverages your established audience trust. Charge 2-5x your normal post rate, and always set a budget cap and duration.
How many revision rounds should I include?
2 rounds is standard. Include a per-revision fee after that (commonly $50-$150). This prevents endless edits while keeping the brand happy.
What deliverables should a brand deal contract include?
Specify each piece of content: platform, format (Reel, Story, Post, Video), quantity, draft deadline, posting deadline, and caption approval process. Vague deliverables lead to scope creep.
