All content created during Company weddings must align with Melissa Ann Artistry’s aesthetic and branding.

​

​

BRAND REPRESENTATION CONTENT GUIDELINES
Although all roles with Melissa Ann Artistry + Co. are independent contractor positions, every Bridal Contractor represents the Melissa Ann Artistry brand. 

 

Brand Alignment
Contractors may not operate, advertise, or promote a separate bridal beauty business while contracted with the Company, unless classified under Tier 3 and approved within our non‑compete guidelines.

 

Content Creation
Contractors may create content featuring their work for personal portfolios, but may not:

​

  • Use Company weddings, trials, or studio sessions to promote a separate bridal business

  • Post content that implies they run their own bridal team

  • Use Company brides or wedding mornings to advertise a competing brand

  • Use the Pewaukee studio for personal business or non‑Company client.

​

All content created during Company weddings or trials must clearly represent Melissa Ann Artistry + Co. and align with our brand aesthetic.
