The UGC Advantage

User-Generated Content (UGC), in essence, is content created by consumers about a brand or product. UGC has become a major player in marketing strategies, with 90% of consumers reporting that user-generated content holds more influence over their buying decisions than email campaigns and search engine results.

Uplifted’s AI-assisted platform allows your brand to capitalize on UGC videos, transforming them into powerful, brand-cohesive ads.

Motivating User-Generated Content

Inspire your customers to create and share content featuring your product or service. This can be achieved through competitions, incentives, or interactive feedback requests. A study by AdWeek found that 85% of users find visual UGC more influential than brand-generated photos or videos.

Uplifted provides the tools to connect with your customer base directly, sending customized, conversion-focused video requests to potential content creators.

Launching a Branded Hashtag Challenge

TikTok's success is in part due to its viral hashtag challenges. Your brand can harness this trend by launching a branded hashtag challenge. This encourages users to create content around your product, simultaneously promoting user interaction and brand visibility.

Streamlining Video Moderation and Editing

Quality control is essential. With Uplifted’s end-to-end video engine, the video creation, moderation, and editing processes are automated. The platform offers robust video management and collaboration tools, ensuring your content remains on-brand and high-quality.

Optimize UGC Videos for TikTok Ads
