Built for Influencer Agencies Pitching Brand Partnerships

Generic proposal templates were not written for influencer marketing. They skip feed posts versus Stories versus Reels, usage rights windows, exclusivity periods, and the approval workflow that brand managers actually care about. Missing those fields slows down sign-off.

Enter the campaign headline, the Instagram creator profile, your deliverable breakdown, pricing options, and a valid-until date. ContractMaker assembles a finished, agency-grade proposal the brand can review, approve, and forward to legal in one step.

What Your Influencer Agency Proposal Covers

Each proposal captures the details a brand needs before approving a campaign budget.

  • Agency and brand contact details with proposal date
  • Instagram creator handle, follower tier, and content niche
  • Deliverables: feed posts, Reels, Stories, link-in-bio, and swipe-ups with quantities
  • Campaign timeline with posting windows and content approval deadlines
  • Pricing options: flat fee, per-post rate, or retainer structure
  • Usage rights window and exclusivity period after posting
  • Valid-until date and a clear next step to move to a signed contract

Frequently asked questions

Is an agency proposal for Instagram influencers legally binding?

A proposal is a pre-sale document. It becomes binding once both parties sign a follow-on contract or the client accepts the terms in writing. ContractMaker is a document tool, not legal advice. Have a lawyer review high-value campaign deals before work begins.

Should I include usage rights in the proposal or wait for the contract?

Flag them in the proposal so the brand understands the cost upfront. Usage rights, exclusivity windows, and white-listing permissions all affect price, so surfacing them early prevents scope disputes. Your follow-on contract formalizes the exact terms.

Can I present tiered pricing in one influencer proposal?

Yes. ContractMaker's proposal template includes a pricing options section so you can show a base package alongside an upgraded deliverable set side by side, giving the brand a clear path to a larger campaign scope.

Is the document ready to send?

Yes. You get a clean, formatted document you can download, print, and send right away. No watermark, no signup.

Do I need a lawyer?

ContractMaker is a document tool, not legal advice. The base templates are vetted and openly licensed, but for high-stakes or unusual situations you should have a lawyer review your final document.

Is it really free?

Yes. Every document is free to generate and download, with no watermark and no signup. Fill the fields, download the file, and send it.

Can I edit the wording?

You control every field, so the scope, payment terms, and clauses always match how you work.
