A Social Media Content Release is the written authorization by which an individual grants a company, brand, or other organization the right to use photos, videos, testimonials, reviews, or other user-generated content (UGC) featuring the individual on the company's social media channels, website, and marketing materials. Without a signed release, using a person's image or likeness in commercial content may violate their right of publicity (a state law right to control commercial use of one's identity). FTC rules require disclosure of material connections, but a content release is separate — it authorizes the use, not the endorsement. This form is suitable for brands collecting UGC from customers, event attendees, and community members.
