COLLABORATION PROPOSAL
This proposal outlines the collaboration Northwind Studio is proposing with Acme Co. The premise is simple: our audiences and strengths overlap in ways that make a joint effort worth more than either side running it alone. The plan below covers what we would build together, how the work is split, and how we would measure combined impact.
DURATION
6 months
Initial term with a joint renewal review.
DELIVERABLES
8 shared
Co-created assets across both brands.
REACH
Combined
Full access to both audiences and channels.

COLLABORATION PROPOSAL
The collaboration runs across three phases. Each closes with a joint review before the next begins so both sides stay aligned throughout.
PHASE 1 · ALIGNMENT AND PLANNING
Joint kickoff workshop to agree on goals, target audiences, brand guardrails, and shared success metrics. Ends with a written partnership plan signed by both sides.
PHASE 2 · LAUNCH AND EXECUTION
Co-created deliverables produced on the agreed timeline, coordinated launch across both channels, and a monthly sync to keep the teams in step.
PHASE 3 · MEASUREMENT AND NEXT-PHASE DECISIONS
Joint reporting on shared metrics, an honest review of what worked, and a decision together on whether to renew, expand, or wind down the partnership.
Not included: exclusive rights in either party's category, revenue commitments beyond the agreed splits, third-party costs (billed pro rata), and extensions beyond the initial term. New scope can be added in writing at any time.

The Collaboration Proposal template is a five-page document for putting your engagement on paper before it starts. It carries an overview with stat cards, objectives, a three-phase scope of work, an investment table with a computed total, and an acceptance page with inputs and signatures.
It is intentionally simple: rename what needs renaming in Bonsai, list your actual deliverables, and set the price. Merge fields handle the client details and date, and the last page collects a PO number, start date, and both signatures.
Everything below comes pre-configured. Turn sections on or off, edit the copy, or add your own — Bonsai remembers your choices for next time.
Can I edit every section? Yes — every heading, paragraph, stat, table row, and signature block is fully editable in Bonsai.
Can I add more pages? Yes — add, reorder, or duplicate pages once the template is open.
Do merge fields auto-fill? Yes — Sender, Receiver, and Date pull from your client contact and the current date automatically.
