What is UGC?
Why more brands rely on authentic visuals
User Generated Content explained
UGC stands for User Generated Content. It refers to photos videos and other content created by individuals instead of brands. This type of content is often shared on social media platforms such as Instagram TikTok and Facebook.
In marketing UGC is used by brands to build trust and show real-life experiences with their products or services. It feels authentic and relatable which makes it more engaging for potential customers.
