The core principle influencers must follow is to clearly and conspicuously disclose a material relationship with any entity mentioned. The notice must be “unavoidable” and presented without having to click further.
An Influencer Agreement is a legal document which sets out the agreement between the Influencer and the Brand in relation to the rights and obligations of each party.
For influencers, the FTC rules state that they must be transparent regarding any brand endorsements they present to followers. If a follower engages with an influencer, it is essential that they are aware they are being targeted by brand marketing.

Social media influencers and celebrity influencers have built trust with their followers and are viewed as experts in their industry. Like with any partnership, companies should have an influencer contract or written agreement in place that outlines the relationship terms between the influencer and the brand.
An influencer contract is essential for both brands and influencers because it establishes a clear, formal agreement on the terms of the influencer marketing collaboration. This not only protects both parties legally but also helps prevent misunderstandings or disputes that could arise during or after a campaign.
What is an Influencer Contract? An Influencer Contract is a legally binding agreement between an influencer (ie someone with a significant social media following) and a business client, under which the influencer is to promote the client's business, brand, or products in a specified way via social media.
In exchange, the company will provide monetary compensation or product(s) of a certain value to the social media influencer. The agreement will also include the call to action required of the influencer such as linking to the brand's product in their bio and/or tagging the brand in their posts and stories.
