Influencer marketing, a powerful form of social media marketing, relies on the partnership between brands and individuals with a strong online presence and influence over a specific audience. These influencers, often found on platforms like Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, or blogs, play a crucial role in creating content that effectively promotes the brand’s products or services to their followers.
However, the legal challenges associated with influencer marketing are extensive for brands and influencers.
Major corporations are often better protected when navigating them because they typically have legal and compliance teams that ensure their marketing strategies align with regulatory guidelines. These corporations can afford to invest in legal experts who stay updated on Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulations, intellectual property laws, and privacy rules, which minimizes their risk of legal violations.
Additionally, large corporations often implement clear contracts with influencers, stipulating compliance with all disclosure requirements and brand guidelines, which reduces potential liability.
Our California, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania business and corporate law attorneys provide the same protections for small, medium, and large businesses and influencers without the expense of in-house legal and compliance department staffing. Here’s how.
How Can the Business and Corporate Law Attorneys at Omni Law Help with Influencer Marketing Agreements?
Our business and corporate law attorneys play a vital role in protecting companies and influencers globally through well-crafted influencer marketing agreements.
These agreements outline the specific terms of the partnership, including compensation, content creation requirements, deadlines, and the scope of the campaign, and ensure that the contract includes critical legal protections, such as compliance with FTC disclosure guidelines to avoid deceptive advertising claims. This includes appropriately labeling paid posts, gifted products, or affiliate links to prevent misleading followers.
We will also address intellectual property rights, clarify ownership of the content produced, and prevent disputes over usage. Additionally, our attorneys protect companies from liability by including clauses indemnifying the business if the influencer violates any laws or regulations.
These agreements also safeguard influencers’ rights, define clear deliverables, and ensure timely and fair compensation. By establishing clear legal boundaries and protections, our business and corporate law attorneys help mitigate risks, maintain compliance, and prevent misunderstandings between the parties.
