UGC & Creator-Style Content

UGC works because it doesn't look produced. That's also why it's a nightmare to scale. Every creator is a brief, a shipment, a contract and a two-week wait, and one in five deliverables is usable. We produce the same format directly: selfie-frame, phone-camera, imperfect on purpose, with your actual product in hand.

Doesn't fake UGC feel dishonest?

It would be if it were framed as a genuine customer testimonial, so we don't do that. Product demonstration, application, unboxing and 'how it works' content in a creator format is honest and effective. Invented reviews from invented people are a line we won't cross, and you shouldn't want us to.

Questions

UGC Content questions.

Can you do talking-head video with audio?

Yes, script, voice and lip-sync. You approve the script before anything is produced.

How many different creators can you produce?

As many as you want. Each one is cast as a distinct person and reusable, so you can build a recurring cast rather than starting from zero every month.

Will Meta flag AI-generated content?

Meta labels AI-generated content it detects, and that labelling isn't a penalty in itself. What gets accounts in trouble is misleading claims, which is a copy problem, not a production problem. We keep claims to what you can substantiate.
