Who does this work for?
If you want to include details about interviewees, clients, or contributors like their photograph or resume background, you need this template!
Are you thinking that anyone who agreed to be featured isn’t going to be problem?
Au contraire! Biography & Likeness agreements clarify the terms of use and make sure that both you and the featured individual are on the same page. It’s smart to establish the ground rules at the beginning of the relationship so that everyone can calibrate their expectations. It is easy to get swept up in excitement about scoring a big interview, or on the other side, about featuring in a blogpost or article. This is exciting! But, it’s a smart business must-do to take the time to dot your “i”s and cross your “t”s by getting a clear agreement in place to describe the business’s ability to use a photo, name, title, and resume details in the article or interview.
