What is User-Generated Content (UGC) and why does it matter?
User-generated content (UGC), by definition, is any form of content – text, posts, images, videos, reviews, etc – created by individual people, not brands or agencies, and published online or on a social network.

And when it comes to brand awareness, 31% of consumers say advertising that features UGC content is more memorable than traditional ads.

Video has traditionally been more challenging to produce, and has long relied on content creators and influencers vs real-life customers. Video generally beats static content because it causes your prospective customers to pause, mid-scroll, on whatever social channel they might be on like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, LinkedIn etc.

Everyone is talking about Influencer marketing, but working with Influencers can present two big challenges for brands. Licensing costs tend to easily get out of hand, and potential customers no longer trust forced commercial endorsements. The good news is that you no longer have to wait for authentic UGC to come to you. Lean teams across B2B and B2C industries including retail, tech, e-commerce, agencies, services, events and more can dramatically improve the results from their marketing efforts by proactively capturing UGC from their customers.
With new tools like Vocal Video, you can set up the ongoing collection of automatically edited videos from your happy customers to use across your marketing channels.

Platforms like Otis AI make it possible to run, test, and track sophisticated ad campaigns, without deep in-house expertise or expensive agencies.
