So you’re hiring a Social Media Manager - fantastic! This Agreement will allow you to lay out, in written terms, what your SMM will be handling for you, how much they will be paid, how long their services will be needed, and also that your SMM is not an employee for legal purposes. This agreement also lays out intellectual property ownership in content created. Your new SMM is an extension of your business -so you not only want to make sure you both “click,” but also that you are protecting your new business relationship!
