8 key questions influencers should be asking brands before agreeing to a talent agreement. ⁠

Q1: WHAT EXACTLY DO I HAVE TO DO FOR YOU?⁠

Make sure the scope of the services and things you have to deliver is clearly defined in writing. You can never be too detailed. ⁠

Q2: HOW LONG WILL THE AGREEMENT LAST FOR AND IS IT LIMITED TO A PARTICULAR TERRITORY?⁠

If you know the length of the contract, and what location it applies in, you will be able to better plan other opportunities around the contract. ⁠

Q3: AM I REQUIRED TO BE EXCLUSIVE TO YOUR BRAND? OR ARE THERE ANY OTHER RESTRICTIONS PLACED ON ME IN RELATION TO THE CONTRACT?⁠

Be wary of contracts that limit your ability to work with other brands. If the contract requires exclusivity…consider whether you’re getting paid enough to agree to exclusivity obligations or other restrictions. ⁠

Q4: DO I OWN THE MARKETING ASSETS I CREATE FOR YOU UNDER THE CONTRACT OR WILL YOU OWN THEM? ⁠

Where possible, choose to ‘licence’ IP to brands, rather than transferring ownership. More importantly, make sure you don’t mistakenly transfer IP you need for other projects. ⁠

Q5: WHAT RIGHTS DO YOU HAVE TO USE THE MARKETING ASSETS I CREATE FOR YOU? ⁠

You need to understand for how long, in what location and via what media the brand can use the marketing assets you create for it. Limit the usage rights for a certain fee. Charge more if the brand wants additional uses. ⁠

Q6: CAN I APPROVE THE FINAL VERSION OF ANY MARKETING ASSETS BEFORE YOU PUBLISH THEM? ⁠

To protect your brand and reputation, it’s best to sign-off on final assets before use. Make sure this is in the contract. ⁠

Q7: CAN I USE THE MARKETING ASSETS, AND YOUR BRAND'S NAME/LOGO FOR MY OWN SELF- PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES? ⁠

Always make sure you can use the final assets on your own socials and other platforms. You should also get pre-approval to list the brand as a client. ⁠

Q8: WHAT ARE YOU PAYING ME (I.E. CASH, NON-CASH BENEFITS AND/OR SUPER) AND WHEN WILL YOU PAY ME?⁠

The fee (incl. cash and non-cash component) should be agreed in writing. Insist on being paid super on top of the fee. ⁠
