Negotiating a Brand Collaboration

Help negotiating brand collaborations for artists. Fees, scope, usage rights, licensing, payment terms and delivery structure.

Brand collaborations are commercial agreements. The terms of a brand deal, including what the artist makes, who owns it, how it is used and for how long, have significant commercial and creative implications. Most initial offers from brands undervalue what they are actually asking for. Knowing what to negotiate and how to negotiate it makes a material difference to both the fee and the terms.

What brand collaboration negotiation covers

Nonesuch Works provides brand collaboration negotiation support for visual artists, covering: fee assessment and counter-proposal structuring, usage rights and licensing terms, exclusivity clauses and creative control provisions, payment schedule and delivery terms, identifying what is missing from an initial offer, and managing the negotiation directly with the brand on the artist's behalf.

How to get support

Brand collaboration negotiation support is available through an Artist Strategy Session, where the session covers the specific offer in detail, or as full project support where Nonesuch Works manages the negotiation directly. Email hello@nonesuchworks.com to discuss a specific collaboration.
