UGC (User-generated content) is branded content posted to a brand's own social channels, email marketing, website, and run as ads.
UGC is often seen as more meaningful and connective to the consumer and does not require an influencer to post about your brand.
Why drive someone else’s audience to your page, when you can speak to your own target audience directly and acquire new prospective customers through targeted ads?

The brands that are finding success in high engagement across their socials are posting short-form video frequently.
In a world where brands are needing a constant stream of content to keep up, hiring UGC creators who love the brand can be a worthy investment as it cuts out the major time and costs associated with working with agencies, influencers, and creating all your content in-house.
Customers are looking to purchase from brands that feature creators they connect with! People want to buy from other people and it’s about building that long-term customer trust and recreating an in-person touch and feel product experience online in order to drive sales.
I focus on done-for-you (DFY) social media content creation that can be repurposed on site and email. I photograph products and create video content/ads that involve the following:
Competitor research
Concept ideation
Script creation with unique hooks and CTAs
Product styling & modeling
Video editing
Script reads / voiceover
Once I submit the content to you, it will be the responsibility of your team to take care of the strategy, post the content, and conduct all analytics.

I currently don't have the capacity to take on unpaid, gifted or affiliate collaborations.
Please let me know if you don't have the budget for a paid collaboration at this time. I would still love to keep in touch!
Since I focus on UGC, I don't post the content on my social media for my partnerships with my base rate. If you are interested in contracting me to post the content on my socials or whitelist/darkpost from my account for an additional fee, please let me know.
It’s proven that UGC creators have higher engagement than macro influencers and celebrities. This is because customers care about consuming content that feels deeply personal, genuine, and well researched.
Customers are able to identify when an influencer is shilling product on a daily basis for a paycheck and there’s often viewer fatigue around endless PR hauls.
Many brands are focusing on running targeted ads versus trying to win over an influencer’s audience - who sometimes are far from being the target audience of a brand.
In a landscape where there’s greater value placed on the content itself and people enjoy seeing creators who look and feel like them, many brands are increasingly favoring UGC.
I've outlined every step of what a partnership looks like here!
The brands I work with don’t hire me for my built-in social media following.
They hire me to produce content that they will post and run as targeted ads from their page.
Oftentimes they prefer that I'm a less familiar face because I'm more likely to be a perceived as a real customer (most of the time, I am 😊).
All kinds! I work across a variety of niches which is why I've broken my portfolio out based on each focus.
I've worked with app-based, service-based, and product-based brands!
If you're a company that is looking to add more content and value to your customers, I'd love to meet you!
UGC partnerships that involve expert creators being paid by a brand is a common practice. Depending on who you ask, some advertisers also consider unpaid, unaffiliated content that a customer created for fun as UGC as well.
There is an underlying sentiment that the days of solely relying on reposting customer made content without compensating them for ads are dwindling as the ethics in doing so can be murky and preserving your brand image and having quality content can be difficult to be achieved by this method.
