Letโs be honest, UGC ๐ค๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฅ the game.
Raw, relatable videos outperformed polished ads. People trust people, not brands.
But somewhere along the wayโฆ the UGC gold rush lost its shine.
Every brand started doing the same thing,
Creators talking to camera, holding a product, forcing โauthenticity.โ
And suddenly, it stopped feeling real.
Thatโs when ๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐จ๐๐ was born.
So, what is Directed UGC?
Itโs the evolution of UGC, still real, still human, but with ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป behind every frame.
Instead of sending a creator your product and hoping for the best, Directed UGC combines:
โ ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ถ๐๐ โ real voices, real faces
โ ๐ฆ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ด๐ถ๐ฐ ๐๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐๐ฒ๐น๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด โ clear hooks, tension, and call-to-action
โ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ-๐น๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐น ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป โ lighting, framing, and editing that convert
Itโs not an ad pretending to be UGC.
Itโs UGC engineered to perform like an ad.
Why it works?
๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐น๐ ๐ป๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ. Viewers donโt scroll past; they lean in.
๐ฆ๐ฒ๐น๐น๐ ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ด๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น๐น๐. Every second has purpose.
๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ๐ ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐น๐. Same framework, multiple creator versions.
๐๐๐ถ๐น๐ฑ๐ ๐๐ฟ๐๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ๐. Because authenticity plus clarity wins.
Hereโs what weโre seeing,
Brands shifting to Directed UGC are reporting serious lifts
SimpliSafe: +210% in sales
Champion: +22% lift
EcoKind: +17% increase in conversions
Why? Because their videos stopped being noise and started being ๐ฏ๐ข๐ณ๐ณ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ท๐ฆ๐ด.
UGC gets attention.
๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐จ๐๐ ๐ด๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป.
And if your brand hasnโt tested it yetโฆYour competitors probably will, soon.
Letโs make sure you lead that shift.
And plan your next Directed UGC campaign.
Because in 2025, the videos that ๐ธ๐ช๐ฏ will be the ones that feel real โ and ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ๐ต ๐ญ๐ช๐ฌ๐ฆ ๐ค๐ณ๐ข๐ป๐บ.
