User-generated content platforms connect brands with creators who film product videos for ads, product pages and social posts. Unlike influencer campaigns, the content usually runs on your own channels. So usage rights and turnaround time matter more than the creator’s follower count.
Look at how creators are vetted, how briefs and revisions work, and what the price includes. In addition, check whether you can request raw footage and multiple hooks, because ad teams test many variations of the same idea.
Mistakes to avoid
First, don’t send a vague brief. Instead, list the problem the product solves, the claims you can legally make, and two or three example videos you like. Second, confirm how long you can use each video and on which platforms. Finally, start with a small batch, then scale with the creators whose videos actually perform.
