UGC ads produced by vetted creators for paid social

UGC ads are paid social ads filmed by real creators in the style of everyday content, with a phone, a real setting and a person talking to camera about the product. UgcProduction produces them for brands and agencies.

Why UGC ads work on paid social

Feeds on TikTok, Reels and Shorts are full of people talking to their phones. A UGC ad looks like that content, so viewers give it the same few seconds they give a friend, instead of skipping a polished brand spot. A creator who uses the product on camera shows how it looks, feels and fits into a day, which answers the questions a product page answers in text.

Plan my production
  1. Native look and pacing for vertical feeds
  2. A real person, real hands and the product in use
  3. Fast to produce, so brands can test many angles per month
  4. Easy to refresh with new hooks once an ad starts to fatigue

What every UGC ad production delivers

Each production runs on one board: an AI-written brief with hooks, casting from vetted creators, review on the frame, edit variants and a licence per asset. It ends with files your media buyer can upload the same day, plus the paperwork legal and finance need. The result is a steady supply of fresh UGC ads for TikTok, Meta, YouTube Shorts, Instagram and Amazon.

  1. Final cuts in the lengths set in the brief, typically 15, 30 or 60 seconds
  2. Exports in 9:16, 4:5, 1:1 and 16:9
  3. Hook swaps and caption variants from the same recording
  4. Raw footage when the brief asks for it
  5. A licence PDF per asset with term, channels and paid usage
  6. Whitelisting or Spark Ads permission on Growth and up
  7. An invoice for creator fees and the platform fee

Lengths, aspect ratios and openings are covered in detail on UGC video ads.

UGC ads that learn from your ad accounts

On Growth and up, a read-only connection to Meta and TikTok ad accounts tags each ad by hook, creator and format. The winning hooks report shows which openings and creators sell, so the next brief starts from data. More on UGC creatives.

What UGC ads cost on UgcProduction

Brands pay a monthly or yearly plan plus a platform fee on creator payouts, and creators set their own rates for each brief. The fee falls as volume grows: 12 percent on Starter, 8 percent on Growth, 5 percent on Scale and 3 percent on Enterprise. Plans start at 99 USD monthly or 49 USD per month billed yearly. Compared with an agency retainer, the brand pays for the production system and the creators, not for account management hours. Compared with a per-video marketplace, the brand gets the brief, rights and performance layer around each video. Full limits are on UGC pricing.
