A contract for social media managers

Retainer work needs a clear scope or it balloons. This agreement defines exactly what’s included each month — posts, platforms, reporting — the monthly fee, content ownership and approvals, and how either side can end the arrangement. Add confidentiality and non-solicitation clauses to protect the relationship.

What it covers

Frequently asked questions

What should a social media retainer contract spell out?

It should define exactly what is included each month, such as the number of posts, the platforms covered, community management, and reporting. Pinning this down stops the scope from quietly ballooning and gives you a clear basis to charge for anything beyond the agreed deliverables.

Who owns the content and accounts I manage?

The template assigns ownership of the content created for the client to the client, while you typically manage but do not own their social accounts. It also covers an approval process, so there is agreement on who signs off on posts before anything is published.

How can either side end the arrangement?

Because it is ongoing, the contract sets a term and a notice period, for example 30 days written notice, plus any renewal terms. This gives both sides a clean, predictable exit and ensures you are paid for work and notice before the engagement winds down.
