Would you take €1,000 for this Reel?

The offer. €1,000 for one Reel, three months of ad rights and a ban on working with competitors.

In this fictional example, I’d counter. If €1,000 is the ceiling, I’d offer a smaller package at the same fee.

My €1,000 counteroffer

  • One Reel.
  • 30 days of Instagram ads from the brand’s account, in one agreed market.
  • No exclusivity. I’d stay free to book work with other brands.

The brand still gets the Reel and a month to run it as an ad. I keep the option to license more usage later and take other bookings. If the brand needs the full three months or exclusivity, I’d quote those separately once it defines the scope.

What I’d say back

Thanks for the brief. For €1,000, I can offer one Reel and 30 days of Instagram ads from your account in one agreed market, with no exclusivity. If you need three months or a competitor restriction, send me the markets, dates and list of competitors you want covered and I’ll quote for that scope.
