You create.
Brands use it.
UGC is content produced for a brand to use across its marketing. Your value comes from the content itself—not only your audience size.
The Brand Has a Goal
The brand needs content for social media, ads, product pages or campaigns.
You Create It
You film and edit the agreed content based on the brief and deliverables.
The Brand Reviews It
The brand reviews the content and requests included revisions.
The Brand Uses It
The content is published according to the purchased usage rights.
Show brands what
you can create.
Your portfolio should make your content style, services, examples and contact information immediately clear.
Strong UGC Portfolio
Use this visual as your guide for your headline, featured work, services and contact section.
Good vs. Weak Portfolio
Review your clarity, organization, visuals, navigation and call to action.
