The Brand Could Change the Requirements and Still Avoid Paying
The Situation
A creator entered a paid brand campaign with defined content deliverables.
The Issue
The agreement gave the brand broad control over approval and revisions. In practice, the language created a risk that the brand could continue changing the requirements while preserving an argument that payment was not due.
What We Did
We tightened the approval and revision framework and clarified the payment mechanics so the brand could still receive content that met the campaign requirements without giving itself an effectively open-ended ability to move the goalposts.
Why It Mattered
The creator was not simply protecting against "bad contract language." The changes protected the economics of the work.
