UGC creator: who is it and why every brand needs one today
Marketing has changed in recent years.
Brands around the world are now looking for these creators because they bring what traditional advertising cannot – trust, authenticity, and performance.
Who is a UGC creator
A UGC creator (User Generated Content creator) is a person who creates authentic content for brands – most often short videos, photos, or product reviews. Unlike influencers, they don't need a large audience. Their role is not to promote the product on their profile, but to create content that the brand can use in its own advertisements or on social networks.
A UGC creator is thus a combination of a customer, actor, cameraman, and marketer in one – with the sole goal: to create content that looks believable and sells.
How does a UGC creator differ from an influencer
Many confuse a UGC creator with an influencer, but there is a fundamental difference between them.
| UGC creator | Influencer |
|---|---|
| creates content for the brand | shares content on their profile |
| sells authenticity, not reach | sells audience |
| can be anonymous | is a known personality |
| client has rights to the video | client only has a short-term mention |
For a brand, a UGC creator is often a more effective and cheaper option – you don't pay for the number of followers, but for the quality and persuasiveness of the video.
Why brands seek UGC creators
Customers today trust people more than brands. When a real person shows a product in a common situation, the video appears trustworthy.
Benefits of UGC creators for brands:
- higher trust and engagement – people identify with the content,
- lower production costs compared to traditional advertising,
- speed – content is created within a few days,
- versatility – videos can be used in ads, on websites, and in organic content,
- performance – UGC demonstrably has higher CTR and conversions.
