Video Sponsorship: a video sponsorship is arrangement where a company provides money to a filmmaker to support the filmmaker’s video or film project. The video project could be a short documentary or it could be a branded lifestyle content piece related to the company’s customers, eg., surf, skate, mountain bike, etc.

Branded Content: branded content is content with a consumer benefit in an authentic environment in the service of a brand. It is the fastest growing revenue source for production companies and filmmakers. Attributes that are critical for successful branded content include: credibility, design, humor, thought-provoking and short content.

Filmmakers and/or production companies should always use a legal agreement when producing sponsored videos or branded content. Essential elements include:

  1. Sponsorship $$$ – define how much money the sponsor is giving you;
  2. Copyrights – ensure you maintain rights to the video and footage produced so you can license individual assets on app.nimia.com;
  3. Product placement – define in writing any product placement desired by sponsor;
  4. Logo placement – define sponsor’s logo placement, eg., at beginning or end of video project;
  5. Credits – defines sponsor’s desired credits.

Video sponsorships and branded content are rapidly growing revenues streams and should always include a legal contract agreement. Consider using this sponsored/branded content contract agreement with your next sponsored project.
