Create a Creator Collaboration Agreement

What this document does

A brand-and-creator agreement for sponsored content: the deliverables and the dates, the fee or the barter, approvals, and exclusivity. Usage rights are the commercial heart of it — paying for a post does not buy the content outright, and running it as a paid advertisement from the creator's own handle (whitelisting, Spark Ads) is a separate grant from the right to post it organically. ASCI disclosure is triggered by a material connection, gifted product included, whether or not money changes hands.
