Why should you invest in UGC
– User-generated content (UGC) is content such as videos, images, reviews, etc. created by REAL PEOPLE, rather than brands, marketing companies OR big influencers.
– Brands with a social media presence have a better opportunity to create a community with their customers.
– UGC content can be used for different projects and campaigns on your company website, social or media.
Cats, Pretty Litter, Catalyst & Indie

What kinds of UGC do I create?
Vertical Videos:
user-created ads can be a goldmine for authenticity. User-generated video ads often feel more genuine and relatable, catching attention in the noisy digital landscape. With over 30 years in video production, I help brands nail vertical video ads and social content. My compact crew handles talent casting, lighting, filming, editing, and can be used by the brand itself on its socials or distribution across our platforms for maximum engagement. I use data and analytics to optimize branded videos that viewers love watching and sharing.
Livestreams: My livestreaming mastery comes from decades of experience on both the production and talent sides. I leverage insider knowledge to deliver lively, interactive streams that build authentic connections. From equipment to graphics to moderation, my lean team manages everything behind-the-scenes to make you look great. Our polished streams feel like a fireside chat with your brand.
Interactive Live Productions: I specialize in interactive livestreams that give viewers control. My team sets up robotic accessories, pet toys, smart home tech and more that audience members can activate from their devices during the show. Viewers love contesting prizes by being the first to launch the cat toy or triggering light sequences. We also integrate improvised storytelling prompted by the audience’s live suggestions. With decades of experience producing participatory streams, I expertly blend interactive tech and compelling content for novel live shows that keep fans engaged.
Blogs: Blogs allow users to share their thoughts, experiences, and expertise. They provide fresh, personalized content and help establish you as an authority in your field. Consider encouraging users to contribute guest blog posts to add diverse perspectives.
Social Media Posts: Social content like posts, photos, videos, and stories bring a human voice to your brand. Encourage users to share their experiences with your product/service on social platforms to increase word-of-mouth marketing.
User Reviews: Customer reviews build trust and social proof while providing real user feedback. Display genuine reviews on product/service pages so prospective customers can learn from others’ first-hand experiences.
Forums / Communities: Branded forums and communities nurture engagement between users and brands. Users can seek advice, share tips, and make connections. Maintaining an active user community strengthens loyalty.
Videos: User generated videos like tutorials, reviews, unboxings, and vlogs offer a personal take on your brand. Videos help humanize a brand and showcase real-life use cases in an engaging format.
