Dual representation at influencer agencies: can it affect you?

Watch out, influencer agencies!
The dual representation of influencers and advertising companies can quickly become a legal minefield.
In this video, lawyer Marian Härtel explains what agencies need to look out for in order to avoid conflicts of interest and be on the safe side legally.

Clear separation of representation

The be-all and end-all is a clear separation of the representation of influencers and advertisers.
Agencies should draw up clear contracts that specify who they represent and to what extent.
This is the only way to avoid conflicts of interest.

Transparency is mandatory

Agencies must act transparently towards all parties involved.
Influencers and advertisers have a right to know if the agency is working for both sides.
This is the only way they can make an informed decision as to whether they agree with this constellation.

Internal compliance guidelines

To avoid conflicts of interest, agencies should draw up internal compliance guidelines.
These can, for example, stipulate that different employees are responsible for influencers and advertisers or that certain information may not be passed on.
## Be aware of liability risks Agencies that ignore the legal pitfalls of dual representation expose themselves to considerable liability risks.
In an emergency, there is a risk of claims for damages and the loss of customers.
