The Problem

Why Polished Ads Are Losing to Raw Content

Audiences have gotten very good at scrolling past anything that looks too produced.

Studio-quality product ads increasingly trigger an instant skip reflex, while UGC-style content — shot on a phone, delivered like a real recommendation — earns the benefit of the doubt long enough to make its point.

We source and brief creators to produce content that looks authentic while still hitting the specific hook, message, and call to action a real campaign needs.

FAQ

UGC and Creator Content — Common Questions

How is UGC different from influencer marketing?
UGC focuses on producing authentic-feeling content assets for use in ads and organic feeds, while influencer marketing is centered on the creator's own audience and distribution reach.
Do we need to ship product to creators for UGC?
In most cases yes - creators need the actual product to produce authentic demo or testimonial content, though some formats can work from existing product assets.
Can UGC be used directly as paid ad creative?
Yes, we edit raw UGC footage into paid-ready assets with proper pacing, captions, and calls to action specifically for ad placements.
How many UGC pieces are produced per batch?
This depends on campaign scope, but most batches include six to twelve pieces to support meaningful testing and avoid fatigue.
Do we own the UGC content once it is produced?
Usage rights are negotiated per creator agreement; we secure rights for your intended use cases across organic and paid channels upfront.
How long does a UGC production cycle take?
Most batches take ten to fourteen days from brief to delivered, ad-ready assets, depending on creator availability.
Does UGC work for B2B brands?
Yes, in a B2B context this often takes the form of authentic customer testimonial or day-in-the-life content rather than product demo style content.
