Name the markets before the names
List where the work will be shot, published and paid. A Tokyo stills day, a Paris showroom appearance and a US paid-social flight are different assignments even when they share a face. Write the cities or countries, the language needs and whether travel is expected. SOCELLE reviews briefs that span Asia, Europe and the United States; other territories can be added when they are real to the job.
Separate creation, appearance and paid use
Commissioned assets, an in-person appearance and posts on a talent-owned channel need their own deliverables. Then set proposed media, territory, term and exclusivity for negotiation. US-facing endorsements should consider the FTC’s disclosure guidance; other markets have their own rules. Do not treat a public image as a right to use it.
Plan time zones as part of the brief
If the work includes calls, live sessions or same-day approvals, name the working time zone and the latest hour a decision can be made. The inquiry form accepts a city or time zone so a call can be arranged in a usable window. A global campaign that ignores the clock creates avoidable delays.
Keep the commercial picture in one currency story
State the planning budget and the currency you intend to contract in. A range is enough. Production, travel, usage and paid amplification should not be hidden inside a single “talent fee” line. The proposal itemizes those parts when they apply.
Measure the job you actually bought
A delivered asset list, an approved appearance and a creator post are different outcomes. Agree the review inputs before the booking. Views, usable files and sales answer different questions and should not be added together as if they were one number.
The working checklist
- Markets, languages and travel listed.
- Assets, appearances and posts separated.
- Usage, territory, term and currency.
- Time zone if a call or live approval is needed.
- Review inputs agreed before booking.
