Who produces UGC content?
1. Customers
The unboxing videos shared on TikTok or Instagram by your customers are examples of UGC. A brand owner can majorly gain UGC content from their customers, either because brands have asked for it or because they have organically decided to share content about the brand.
2. Employee-generated content (EGC)
It shows the importance and story behind your brand. For example, photos of employees packing or making up orders or a video of your team talking about why they love working for your company. This behind-the-scenes content is very important to establish brand identity and it efficiently works across social and ads to showcase authenticity.
3. UGC Content
A UGC creator is a person who creates sponsored content that appears genuine and the content shows a specific business or product. The major difference between a UGC creator and customers is that UGC creators are paid for their content and this source of content is more effective than the traditional UGC.
