Run an influencer collaboration

Confirm the influencer deliverables with Priya at BrightLens by Wednesday: ask for the final posting schedule, three preview reels, story swipe-up link, and their audience insights; then draft the payment terms for Miguel and Sana to approve and set payment to release only after we confirm the assets were posted as agreed.

Before I sign off on this collaboration, make the influencer package easy to approve: put the expected reach and engagement from Priya up top, show sample captions and creative frames, call out any brand-safety risks, and note which metrics will determine final payment.

The influencer just sent a caption that includes a politically charged line that could upset our customers; Priya insists it performs well. I need to decide whether to ask for edits, pay regardless, or walk away. What’s the likely reputational and performance trade-off and the exact wording I should use to request a neutral rewrite while keeping the creator engaged?

We keep losing time because influencer negotiations drag on and creative approvals are late. What negotiation habit or standard clause should I add to contracts so agreements lock in deliverables and timelines without damaging creator relationships? Give one new clause and one change to our approval process.
