Brand deals are contracts. Most creators sign them like they're DMs.

Brand collaboration and sponsorship agreements, talent management contracts, podcast and production deals, licensing of your content and likeness, reviewed and drafted by a solicitor who runs a six-figure-follower media operation and has sat on your side of every one of these documents.

Handled entirely in writing. No hearings, no meetings, no attendance required.

Common questions

FAQs.

The brand sent their 'standard terms'. Aren't those non-negotiable?

Almost never, 'standard' means 'drafted for the brand'. The usual wins on review: limiting perpetual usage rights, narrowing exclusivity to the actual category and term, and payment terms that don't leave you financing a multinational for 90 days.

What's the most expensive clause creators miss?

Usage rights. A flat-fee post that quietly licenses the brand to run your face in paid ads, worldwide, forever, is the difference between a £2,000 deal and a £20,000 one. It is one clause, and it is negotiable.

Why does it matter that you run an audience yourself?

Because the advice is calibrated to how these deals actually work, briefs, whitelisting, boosting, exclusivity windows, not translated from a textbook. The practice runs a six-figure-follower legal media brand and manages talent; this is home ground.

Do you act for brands and agencies too?

Yes, campaign agreements, talent contracts and UGC terms from the commissioning side, at the same schedule.
