Short answer
An exclusivity clause is a contract term barring a creator from promoting competing brands for a set period and category. It protects the brand's investment by preventing a creator from endorsing a rival soon after a campaign. Because it limits a creator's earning opportunities, exclusivity usually increases the fee and should be clearly scoped.
