The Influencer Marketing Contract serves as a crucial legal framework for businesses engaging social media influencers in South Africa's growing digital marketing landscape.

It ensures compliance with South African legislation, including the Consumer Protection Act, POPIA, and relevant advertising regulations. The contract covers all essential aspects of the collaboration, from content specifications and posting requirements to payment terms and intellectual property rights.
