Influencer Agreement

About this document

What it’s for

A full agreement between a brand and an influencer (or the influencer’s company or agent) for paid or gifted social media content. It sets out exactly what will be posted, how it is approved and labelled, what the brand may do with the content afterwards, and what happens if either side damages the other’s reputation.

When to use it

  • Paid posts, videos, stories, livestreams or ambassador programmes
  • Gifted products or trips given in return for, or in the hope of, coverage
  • Where the brand wants to reuse content or run it as paid ads (whitelisting)

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

Also included

  • Deliverables
  • Labelling
  • Honesty and claims
  • Audience and restricted products
  • Rights and approvals
  • United States and other territories (if applicable)

How to complete it

  • Complete Schedule 1 (campaign and deliverables) and Schedule 2 (fees) first
  • Choose Option A (licence) or Option B (assignment) in clause 8
  • Agree the exclusivity, usage and whitelisting periods – each has a price
  • Give the influencer the Schedule 3 checklist for every post

Key points to check

  • The CMA can now fine brands and influencers directly under the DMCC Act 2024
  • Use “Ad” upfront – “sponsored”, “spon” and “gifted” are not enough
  • Restricted products (alcohol, gambling, less healthy food, finance, medicines) carry extra rules
