  • SAG-AFTRA commercials signatory

Seven quick questions. You will get a tailored answer for agencies, production companies or brands.

1. Who are you?
2. What are you making?

Pick the closest match. For a paid ad, choose by how people will experience it: watch it or just hear it.

3. Will the commercial use SAG-AFTRA members as performers?
4. Is your company already a signatory to the SAG-AFTRA Commercials Contract?
5. Is anyone else on the job (agency or client) a signatory?
6. Do you want your company to take on union employer obligations long-term (paperwork, reporting, residuals)?
7. How will the spot run?

General information, not legal advice. SAG-AFTRA requires a signatory to be attached before auditions or casting (SAG-AFTRA Commercials: Getting Started). Third-party signatories must perform real employer functions under current SAG-AFTRA rules.
