The SAG-AFTRA Commercials Contracts: What You Need to Know

SAG-AFTRA

With the SAG-AFTRA Commercials Contracts expiring on March 31, 2025, we're preparing to negotiate with the Joint Policy Committee, which represents advertisers and advertising agencies. Katie Von Till, actor and national chair of the Commercials Performer Committee, and Tracy Hyman, SAG-AFTRA national director of the Commercials and Corporate/Educational & Non-Broadcast department, join the podcast to help break down key contract elements, including residuals, audition protections, exclusivity rights and the evolving digital landscape. Plus, they discuss critical protections for intimate scenes, hazardous work and artificial intelligence. The views expressed by the guests are their own and not that of SAG-AFTRA. Any mention of products or services does not imply SAG-AFTRA's endorsement.
