As audiences grow weary of polished ads, the demand for real, relatable storytelling has never been higher.

Brands now ask: How can we scale authenticity without losing control of the message? User-generated content (UGC) has become the answer, bridging the gap between influencer reach and genuine consumer trust.

In 2025, UGC has become a performance channel in its own right, powering ad creative, product launches, and social commerce.

The best UGC agencies don’t just connect brands with creators; they systemize production, optimize for ROAS, and repurpose authentic content across paid and organic channels.

From TikTok-native storytelling to mobile-first ad pipelines, these partners redefine what creator marketing looks like at scale. Whether you’re a startup testing your first UGC brief or an enterprise seeking performance-grade storytelling, these 28 agencies represent the future of creative collaboration.


Best UGC Agencies: Reviewed & Rated

Since it can be overwhelming and time-consuming to keep track of all the UGC made for your business, it’s important to look for agencies dedicated to curating the right UGC mix for your brand. UGC agencies help curate, manage, promote, and optimize UGC on behalf of brands. They work closely with UGC creators and brand advocates to create authentic content for their clients. 

What is UGC (User Generated Content)?

UGC is any content created by consumers and shared on social media platforms or websites. It can include images, videos, reviews, testimonials, etc. For example, someone posting a picture in a new dress they bought from your apparel brand is considered UGC.

Since they handle everything from creating the contract to managing the distribution, UGC agencies can save brands a lot of time and effort when it comes to UGC marketing. Below, we review the top UGC agencies that are masters at collecting authentic content from their clients.

2025

1. Ubiquitous

Ubiquitous

Notable Clients: Netflix, J. Crew, Amazon, Spotify, Target, Lyft

Location and global presence: Headquartered in Los Angeles, USA

Year Founded: 2021

Content Specialization: Influencer-driven content

Pricing: Minimum spend of $20,000 per project

Ubiquitous Influencer Marketing helps brands use UGC to amplify their digital presence. The agency promises to make your brand a household name by identifying social media personalities to get the word out about your product. The following video explains how Ubiquitous simplifies influencer campaigns across key platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube

With this mission, Ubiquitous has generated over 1.4 billion impressions and created more than 47.5k unique content pieces. For example, the agency assisted Hers, a women’s healthcare telemedicine company, in creating a successful TikTok campaign with over 5 million impressions

Strategic Approach: Ubiquitous realized that the right way to target the brand’s audience was to find people who were already talking about the issues Hers resolved. So, Ubiquitous found Gen Z female UGC creators for the company. These creators recounted their journeys as young women taking control of their health, resulting in 11,000 new users in just a month.

Hers creator selection

Hers creator selection

Besides the low-key nature of the videos, the innovative design of the product also helped this campaign.

Hers products have an eye-catching design and feature the airless pump packaging that the high-end brand Drunk Elephant made mainstream. Since UGC videos show all these little details that take a product’s status from ‘’want’’ to ‘’need’’ for the viewer, they tend to do wonders for brands. 

Another company that Ubiquitous helped in creating an impression on their TikTok audience is Magic Spoon. The cereal company wanted to promote its product to a younger audience, and Ubiquitous realized, what better platform than TikTok to reach them. 

 

Strategic Approach: Ubiquitous took a data-driven approach to find the right creators from its database of 2,500. Based on Magic Spoon’s data, women were more likely to buy the brand’s cereal. So, Ubiquitous filtered female creators with at least 40% female followers.

The result? A YouTube and TikTok campaign that generated over 10.8 million impressions with a cost per million of $2.30

Key Services

Ubiquitous has been trusted by brands as big as Netflix and Amazon. Why? The agency has a plethora of services that cater to every brand’s needs and objectives. 

Advertising itself as Hinge (but for finding creators), Ubiquitous takes pride in finding the right match between its clients and the UGC creators best suited for their niche and industry. Currently, the agency only specializes in YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. The UGC creatives take care of the content creation, while Ubiquitous handles the selection and management. 

For example, when Ubiquitous identified TikTok UGC creators for NightCapIt, a scrunchy brand, they got over 92 million views across the platform, which is a testament to the agency’s selection finesse. 

 

From strategy to execution, Ubiquitous is by the clients’ side at all times. Margaux Stickney, the acquisition marketing associate at J.Crew Factory, says,

All Ubiquitous representatives have been very friendly and demonstrate understanding of our business needs, and are prompt to respond to any questions or make us aware of any action items needed.” 

The Ubiquitous UGC campaign process begins with goal selection. Clients define their objectives to the agency. They also mention their preferred social channels and describe their target audience. 

The experts at Ubiquitous take it from there. They use the agency’s proprietary methods to create a menu of strategies for the success of your UGC content campaign. These experts also review and revise the strategies as needed.

2. The Shelf

The Shelf

Best for: Medium and Small Size Brands

Year Founded: 2013

Location: Atlanta, GA

Industries Served: Food and Beverage, Retail, Parenting and Family, Fashion and Beauty, Technology, Education

Services: Full-funnel influencer strategy, creator sourcing and UGC production, paid social allowlisting, performance optimization, content licensing, reporting

Pricing: Typical minimum engagement from $100,000+

Notable clients: Lenox, Sweet Defeat, KIDZ BOP

The Shelf is a data-first influencer marketing agency that positions creator content as a predictable growth lever for brands. Its approach combines a proprietary discovery and planning platform with a structured Optimization Flywheel that turns testing insights into repeatable performance.

Teams emphasize creative that behaves natively on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, then scale winners through paid social and allowlisting. Reporting maps creator activity directly to revenue and conversion metrics that senior marketers can defend in a boardroom.

Optimization Flywheel That Turns Tests Into Revenue

The Shelf’s workflow is built around rapid creative iteration. Teams stand up hypothesis-driven briefs, ship multiple hooks and format variants, and promote early winners to paid while retiring underperformers.

Insights are codified at each turn, so subsequent deliverables reflect proven angles, captions, and CTAs. This creates a durable content engine that compounds results and lowers CPA over time.

Interest-Graph Targeting And Creator Fit

Rather than anchor planning on follower counts, The Shelf prioritizes audience interests and creative style. The internal platform ranks creators by the signals most likely to move a brand’s buyers, improving pre-selection and reducing wasted cycles.

Briefs emphasize the creator’s native voice and visual grammar, which raises completion rates and shareability. The result is UGC that feels organic to each platform but is structured for measurable lift.

Enterprise Controls, Measurement, And Allowlisting

For performance-minded brand teams, the agency leans into measurement rigor and workflow transparency. Builds include clean usage rights, whitelisted posting, and experiments that tie content to down-funnel outcomes.

Dashboards track impressions, engagement, CTR, CPA, and ROAS across organic and paid, giving marketers clarity on what to scale. Pilot programs de-risk investment and create proof for broader rollouts.

Proof of Performance

  • Papa Murphy’s. Dual-phase TikTok and Instagram rollout optimized first for traffic, then for purchases. 3.8M impressions, 71.9K clicks, 11.6K purchases, 0.96 CPA, 29.71 ROAS. The top creator delivered 192K in sales, and TikTok engagement outperformed Instagram.
  • Peelz Citrus. 28 creators reframed the brand with humor-led short-form video. 41.1M impressions at a 1.84 CPM, 1.7M engagements, and 113 posts produced at 145% of scope. Allowlisted assets delivered a 4.58% blended engagement rate and CTR up 20% vs benchmark.
  • Ello. Two-pulse program drove awareness to consideration with parent-led UGC. 6.58M impressions, 1.3M engagements, and 110,600 link clicks on 40K paid media. Instagram Stories contributed 40% of interactions and a 3.2x engagement lift vs benchmark.

Pros

  • Proven performance workflows
  • Strong paid social integration
  • Rigorous reporting
  • Creative that balances authenticity with conversion.

Cons

  • Enterprise-level minimums can exclude smaller budgets
  • Testing cadence requires stakeholder buy-in and timely approvals

Why It Stands Out

The Shelf distinguishes itself by treating influencer marketing as a performance discipline rather than a reach tactic. Its platform-guided planning, creator fit methodology, and tighten-and-scale flywheel give brands a reliable path from concept to ROAS.

Teams are adept at translating cultural ideas into testable ad variants, then operationalizing winners through allowlisting and clean licensing. For large brands and enterprises seeking screenshot-worthy performance with enterprise controls, The Shelf is a strong partner.

3. Clicks Talent

Clicks Talent

Best for: Small Businesses

Year Founded: 2014

Location: Santa Monica, California

Industries Served: Gaming, Travel, E-commerce, Entertainment, Consumer Apps

Services: Influencer sourcing and management, content creation, campaign strategy, UGC production, paid amplification, analytics reporting

Pricing: Campaigns typically starts around $1K per activation

Notable Clients: Uber Eats, Warner Bros., The Pokémon Company, Trip.com, Printful

Clicks Talent is a full-service influencer and UGC agency recognized as the first in the world to specialize in TikTok creator marketing. Founded in 2014, it has since expanded into a global network of over 5,000 creators across 65 countries and 150 content niches.

The agency manages every layer of influencer activation, from creator vetting to campaign execution and post-launch analytics, helping brands scale both awareness and conversions. With a strong foothold in entertainment, gaming, and consumer tech, Clicks Talent blends creative storytelling with structured campaign delivery to generate measurable outcomes across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.

Creator Network Built for Global Scale

Clicks Talent’s biggest differentiator is its extensive roster of over 5,000 verified influencers spanning 65 countries. This international scope allows clients to activate localized campaigns in any major market with cultural fluency and language relevance.

The team focuses on pairing brands with creators who drive conversation, not just impressions, leveraging micro, macro, and celebrity influencers to balance authenticity with mass reach.

Rapid Campaign Deployment and Cross-Platform Execution

The agency operates with a refined five-step workflow, consultation, strategy, influencer selection, content creation, and performance analysis, designed to move from ideation to execution within weeks.

Clicks Talent manages content production across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, ensuring consistent messaging and creative alignment. Campaigns are optimized for both organic virality and paid performance, allowing for scalable rollouts that sustain engagement beyond the initial burst.

Proven ROI in Regulated and High-Competition Sectors

Clicks Talent excels at delivering quantifiable performance even in industries where compliance and saturation present challenges. From gaming to travel to e-commerce, its case studies demonstrate a capacity to drive massive reach and engagement while maintaining strong cost efficiency.

The agency’s reporting framework highlights metrics like CPM, CPE, engagement rate, and earned media value—giving clients a transparent, data-backed view of success.

Proof of Performance

  • Swedish Online Casino: Over three months, Clicks Talent transformed a licensed gaming brand into Sweden’s most-discussed casino. By combining local celebrities with top meme creators, the campaign generated 32.8M views, 391 posts, and over 1,000% growth in social attention. CPM averaged $22, outperforming regional benchmarks and driving a 21% lift in online presence versus competitors.
  • Trip.com: A one-week Instagram campaign highlighting app functionality achieved 366K total reach and 322K views, maintaining an 88% view-through rate and 1% interaction rate. CPM landed at $23, confirming efficiency in awareness generation through short-form travel storytelling.
  • Printful: Clicks Talent activated 56 TikTok creators who produced 121 videos and reached 43.9M users. The campaign generated 16.7M views, 813K likes, and over 5K comments, achieving a $6 CPM and $0.12 CPE. Engagement rates exceeded 5%, solidifying Printful’s position as a leading on-demand platform for creator commerce.

Pros

  • Pioneering expertise in TikTok influencer marketing
  • Large, diverse creator network across 65+ countries
  • Strong campaign reporting and performance visibility
  • Experience with regulated industries (gaming, finance, etc.)

Cons

  • Limited creative post-production services compared to UGC studios
  • Best suited for brands with defined budgets and active campaign teams

Why It Stands Out

Clicks Talent remains one of the few agencies that combine early TikTok expertise with proven cross-platform fluency. Its ability to mobilize global creators quickly, deliver competitive CPMs, and maintain compliance across markets makes it uniquely positioned for brands looking to scale fast without sacrificing control.

4. House of Marketers

House of Marketers

Best for: Large brands and Creators

Year Founded: 2020

Location: London, England

Industries Served: Tech, Finance, Fashion, Lifestyle, DTC, Consumer Electronics

Services: UGC strategy and production, TikTok influencer campaigns, paid social and TikTok Ads management, organic and paid UGC amplification, performance analytics

Pricing: Campaigns typically start around $20K

Notable Clients: NN Insurance, Hover Air, Garzini Wallet, Google, Kroo Bank

House of Marketers is a TikTok-first influencer and UGC marketing agency founded by former TikTok employee Inigo Rivero. Based in London, the agency operates globally, combining platform-native creative strategy with data-driven optimization.

It specializes in authentic, high-converting content crafted by real customers, micro-influencers, and community members. The team’s strength lies in building full-funnel UGC systems that merge authenticity, cultural storytelling, and paid performance, bridging the gap between creator culture and brand consistency.

TikTok-Native Creative Frameworks

House of Marketers was built around TikTok’s creative DNA, giving it an unmatched ability to design campaigns that align with the platform’s pacing, humor, and algorithmic triggers.

Every concept starts with audience analysis and trend mapping, ensuring the content feels organic to the “For You” page. From hook-driven storytelling to UGC loops designed for retention, the agency delivers native social videos that outperform traditional ad creative across engagement and view duration.

UGC Systems That Scale Across Paid and Organic

The agency’s four-step UGC process, brand analysis, concept development, organic and paid execution, and performance optimization, turns user content into a repeatable acquisition engine.

UGC is treated as a modular system: creators produce raw content, the team tests performance organically, and top-performing assets are allowlisted and scaled through TikTok Ads or Meta Advantage+. This approach ensures cultural relevance on the front end and measurable ROI on the back end.

Multi-Market Expertise and Measurable Impact

With clients spanning finance, tech, lifestyle, and retail, House of Marketers has developed a deep understanding of how to localize storytelling across markets. Their campaigns regularly drive high lifts in brand favorability, awareness, and recommendation intent.

The agency’s integrated reporting suite connects influencer content to hard business metrics—awareness, site traffic, and purchase consideration—making it one of the most performance-verified UGC agencies in Europe.

Proof of Performance

  • NN Insurance: Multi-country campaign across Romania, Poland, and Greece turned a complex financial product into a relatable digital story. Through 17 influencers and 2 UGC creators, House of Marketers generated 6.9M video views, +48% awareness, +44% favorability, and +34% higher recommendation intent.
  • Hover Air: A global launch for Hover Air’s flagship drone activated 227 influencers across five markets, delivering 30M+ total views, including 27.5M organic. Campaigns showcased hands-free flight features and lifestyle integration, resulting in +129% uplift in organic reach and an additional 2.6M boosted ad views.
  • Garzini Wallet: Focused TikTok program reframed luxury wallets for Gen Z and Millennials through creator storytelling. 30+ collaborations drove 5.6M video views, 50K clicks, and a 4x ROAS, making wallets “cool again” with content that balanced premium branding and virality.

Pros

  • Deep TikTok expertise with ex-platform leadership
  • Proven record in multi-market campaigns and localization
  • Data-led, structured UGC frameworks for repeatable ROI
  • Integrated paid media and allowlisting support

Cons

  • Primarily TikTok-focused, less emphasis on long-form or B2B content
  • High creative intensity may not suit brands seeking turnkey templates

Why It Stands Out

House of Marketers has become the benchmark for performance-oriented TikTok and UGC strategy in Europe. Its blend of creative fluency, proprietary optimization processes, and verified ROI across diverse industries sets it apart from generalist influencer agencies. By merging authenticity with algorithmic precision, it transforms customer voices into scalable brand assets.

5. HireInfluence

HireInfluence

Best for: Large Brands and Enterprises

Year Founded: 2011

Location: Austin, TX • Los Angeles, CA • New York City, NY

Industries Served: CPG, QSR, Apparel, Health and Wellness, Consumer Tech, Lifestyle

Services: Full-service influencer campaigns, talent curation and contracting, experiential activations and events, paid media and allowlisting, FTC compliance, analytics and EMV reporting

Pricing: Campaigns typically start around $50K

Notable Clients: McDonald’s, Oreo, Ricola, Lee Jeans

HireInfluence is a full-service influencer agency built for brands that want premium creative, hands-on execution, and measurable business results. The team manages end-to-end delivery across strategy, creator sourcing, contracts, production, paid amplification, and analytics.

A core differentiator is its mix of experiential programs with performance tracking, so brand moments translate into repeatable content and clean attribution. Its analytics stack blends real-time dashboards, sentiment analysis, and earned media value to inform what to scale.

With offices in Austin, Los Angeles, and New York, the agency supports national launches and multi-market rollouts across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and on-site events.

Experiential Storytelling That Becomes Scalable Content

HireInfluence designs sensory and in-person experiences that creators can translate into high-impact short videos, carousels, and live moments. From pop-ups to product demos, the team scripts content beats that highlight use cases, then pairs on-site capture with post-production and paid reuse.

This turns one-time events into always-on social proof that drives reach and brand lift.

Creator Vetting With Audience Quality Scoring

Talent recommendations are hand-vetted and ranked with an Audience Quality Score that screens for fake followers and misaligned audiences. The vetting process reviews past partnerships, content quality, demographic fit, and engagement integrity. Brands get premium-fit creators who match voice and values, which improves completion rates, saves revisions, and protects media efficiency.

Analytics That Tie Creative To Outcomes

A white-glove dashboard tracks impressions, reach, clicks, engagement rate, and conversion metrics alongside sentiment and EMV. Teams run in-flight optimizations based on human review and benchmark comparisons, not vanity metrics.

For eligible programs, the advanced tracking maps creator content to lower-funnel outcomes, helping stakeholders defend investment and decide what to scale next.

Proof of Performance

  • McDonald’s x Oreo: #OREOShamROCKout. Three lifestyle and foodie creators showcased the limited-time Oreo Shamrock McFlurry with playful, spring-themed reels. Results: 1.7M impressions, 298K engagements, $0.06 CPE, with content that emphasized limited availability and the co-brand’s cultural relevance.
  • Ricola: #CoatYourThroat. A diverse mix of creators integrated the new Ricola Throat Balm into daily routines across Instagram and TikTok. Results: 26M impressions, 20.5M reach, 13.17% engagement rate, and 62.5K clicks as proactive voice care became an everyday habit.
  • Lee Jeans: #LeeInMotion. Four male creators highlighted the Extreme Motion collection through movement-driven content. Results: 1.3M impressions, 1.2M reach, 304K video views, and 8.59% engagement, demonstrating functional benefits through authentic lifestyle footage.

Pros

  • End-to-end delivery with experiential capabilities
  • Rigorous creator vetting and audience quality scoring
  • Strong analytics with EMV, sentiment, and conversion options

Cons

  • Premium creative and event work may require higher budgets
  • Bespoke production timelines can extend lead times

Why It Stands Out

HireInfluence blends white-glove experiential marketing with disciplined analytics, so big creative ideas come with proof. The combination of audience quality scoring, FTC-safe workflows, and real-time optimization gives established brands confidence from kickoff to wrap.

6. Moburst

Moburst

Best for: Medium to Large Brands and Mobile-First Enterprises

Year Founded: 2013

Location: New York, NY • Tel Aviv, Israel • London, UK • San Francisco, CA

Industries Served: Mobile Apps, Consumer Tech, SaaS, Gaming, Lifestyle, CPG

Services: UGC production, influencer marketing, mobile growth strategy, creative and content development, media buying, ASO and CRO optimization

Pricing: Projects typically start around $20K

Notable Clients: Samsung, Redefine Meat, PlugSports, Abide, Shopkick

Moburst is a full-service digital growth agency with a UGC division that blends creator storytelling with performance marketing. The agency’s core philosophy—authenticity drives efficiency—underpins every campaign, positioning UGC as a more agile, cost-effective alternative to traditional influencer activations.

With a deep mobile-first heritage, Moburst leverages its proprietary creator network to produce ad-ready assets tailored for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and other social-first placements. Its creators understand trend cycles, sound usage, and platform algorithms, enabling content that aligns with both culture and conversion goals.

Platform-Native UGC Production

Moburst’s creator network functions as an in-house studio optimized for mobile-first storytelling. Unlike influencer-led campaigns, these creators develop branded assets for the brand’s own channels, reducing dependencies on individual audiences. This model accelerates production, simplifies licensing, and allows marketers to continuously A/B test messaging across ads and organic placements.

Fast Turnaround and Cost Efficiency

UGC deliverables are produced in roughly ten days from brief to final edit—significantly faster than the three-week timelines typical in influencer campaigns. Because pricing is content-based rather than follower-based, brands pay for creative output rather than reach.

This structure cuts cost-per-clicks by up to 50% and drives higher CTRs, with campaigns frequently exceeding 4x the engagement performance of standard paid ads.

Data-Driven Growth Engine

Moburst integrates UGC production into its wider digital growth ecosystem, which includes ASO, CRO, and paid media optimization. Each piece of content is benchmarked against engagement, install, and conversion KPIs. Real-time analytics allow the team to refine ad variations, audience targeting, and creative hooks for compounding performance gains.

Proof of Performance

  • PlugSports: TikTok-focused campaign that drove 8,500+ app installs and a 227% increase in click-to-install rate (CTI) through athlete-led UGC videos that showcased app functionality and community spirit.

Pros

  • Deep integration of UGC with mobile and app growth strategy
  • Fast 10-day delivery pipeline with measurable performance lift
  • Global presence with unified creative and analytics teams
  • Cost-efficient content pricing versus traditional influencer fees

Cons

  • Primarily focused on mobile-first and app-centric brands
  • Limited in-person or experiential activation capabilities

Why It Stands Out

Moburst bridges the gap between creative storytelling and quantifiable mobile growth. By positioning UGC as a scalable performance lever, it helps brands produce content that looks organic but performs like paid creative. The agency’s combination of speed, affordability, and analytics precision makes it a top-tier choice for brands seeking to replace influencer dependency with sustainable, high-performing content pipelines.

Location and global presence: Headquartered in Toronto, Canada

Year founded: 2014

Viral Nation is a social-first influencer marketing agency that specializes in creative content solutions. They have an award-winning group of storytellers, social experts, and creatives who can help you become (and remain) culturally relevant.

Its excellent service is the reason Viral Nation got the 2022 Platinum award for the Best Social Campaign, and was also the winner of the Best Social Campaign for its strategy for the Meta Quest 2

Speaking of the campaign, Meta Quest engaged Viral Nation to create an awareness campaign for the VR version of its popular title, Resident Evil 4 (RE4). The agency used a blend of UGC creators and social media influencers across platforms to create content around Resident Evil’s characters, iconic moments, memes, and lore.

With some paid media amplification and celebrity action added in, the game became one of the most talked-about titles of the year. The campaign generated 61.2 million impressions and 1.3 million engagements

Another ambassador campaign that Viral Nation successfully ran was for Discover Boating, an online resource for recreational boating. During the pandemic, the company worked with Viral Nation to create a UGC campaign urging people to find water close to them and enjoy a day out. 

Strategic Approach: The #GetOnBoard campaign started by Viral Nation was supplemented with ambassador and influencer generated content. User-generated content was the driving force of the campaign’s success, as Americans from all walks of life were encouraged to get out on the water and share photos and videos with the hashtag.

Other tactics included paid ads, a hype video, and social publishing across TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.

The campaign marked its success with 12.7 million impressions and 291k clicks. 

Key Services

Viral Nation UGC and ambassador content services are available for businesses of all sizes and industries. The agency identifies creators to generate content for both organic and paid campaigns. 

Brands that want a UGC-based ad campaign can choose from the agency’s UGC-based ad services, which include audience targeting and campaign amplification. 

Viral Nation’s services are not limited to B2C brands.The agency also assists B2B brands in running UGC campaigns. For example, in a campaign with SurveyMonkey, Viral Nation partnered with B2B creators to create survey links using SurveyMonkey. These creators then shared these questionnaires with their followers, bringing spotlight to the brand’s offering. 

Similarly, Viral Nation offers talent merchandising ventures, which help creators co-develop creator-branded products. Small businesses can collaborate with UGC creators to create products that benefit from the brand’s expertise and the creator’s social media presence.

Viral Nation also uses campaign accelerators to make the user-generated content stand out and be more visible. Some of these accelerators include paid media, content repurposing, and experiential events.

Viral Nation takes an integrated approach, offering brands a complete view of their campaign performance through detailed analytics and actionable insights. With the CreatorOS™ platform, brands can track user-generated content (UGC) campaigns, evaluate their impact, and fine-tune strategies using real-time data.

Additionally, Viral Nation Secure™ provides an advanced solution for identifying authentic UGC creators and safeguarding brand integrity. This proprietary tool enables clients to detect fraudulent creators and fake followers, ensuring partnerships that drive genuine engagement and measurable results. Together, these technologies empower brands to optimize their strategies and thrive in today’s competitive social media landscape.

Fresh Content Society

Notable clients: National Geographic, KFC

Location and global presence: Headquartered in Evanston, USA

Year founded: 2015

Content specialization: Influencer-driven content

As the name gives away, Fresh Content Society is all about creating fresh and unique content for its clients. Thinking outside the box and staying ahead of trends is the agency’s specialty.

These content specialists at Fresh Content Society focus on originality and ensure that each creation resonates with the distinct soul of each platform, ensuring a genuine and authentic feel

In one of their many successful collaborations, Fresh Content Society partnered with PEAK Auto to amplify engagement on Instagram. 

PEAK Auto case study result

PEAK Auto case study result

By leveraging automotive influencers and generating various types of UGC, the agency achieved a 2,000% follower surge on TikTok, garnering over 13 million impressions and 2 million interactions. In fact, one of the recent Reels the agency created for Peak Auto got 1 million views on TikTok.

 

PEAK Auto isn’t the only company Fresh Content Society has helped achieve incredible results with user-generated content. Fresh Content Society also worked for TrueValue, assisting the company in reaching its goal of being on par with its competitors on social media. 

Strategic Approach: The experts at the agency created a full strategy for TrueValue, which included UGC creator collaborations and engagement tactics.

Besides implementing this campaign, the agency also took over the task of analyzing and reporting its performance.

True Value campaign results

TrueValue experienced a 6,000% increase in engagement and got a 200% boost in website visits

Key Services

With regards to UGC, Fresh Content Society’s most popular services include UGC-style content creation and creator collaborations.

 

For the former, the agency itself creates content that resembles the kind of videos a user would create. These media assets prove to be effective since they don’t seem promotional and also show the client’s product in action. 

In addition to short videos, Fresh Content Society also creates UGC-style memes, animations, GIFs, and other graphics. The production levels of a UGC-style content piece depend on the client’s objectives. For example, the TikTok Fresh Content Society created for Right Guard Deodorant has received hundreds of thousands of views.

As for UGC creator identification, Fresh Content Society looks at the client’s target audience and creates a list of creators who share the same demographic. The agency then provides its services in every aspect of the UGC campaign, including creator management and reporting. 

Brands that want to incorporate paid media into their UGC campaigns will find Fresh Content Society to be the right hybrid agency for their needs.

Since Fresh Content Society roots all its campaign tasks in data, the end results are in line with the starting objectives. Plus, its experts can create full-scale social media strategies for all major social media platforms that the client can then follow or use for reference.

The agency also offers community management to keep the clients’ target audience engaged. That’s exactly how Fresh Content Society was able to garner 90,000 engagements on a Facebook post for its client. Its experts respond to comments across platforms to keep client audiences engaged.

9. MOMENTiQ

MOMENTiQ

Notable clients: American Eagle Outfitters, Fashion Nova

Location and global presence: Headquartered in Los Angeles, USA

Year founded: 2023

Content specialization: Influencer-driven content

Pricing: Minimum spend of $50,000 per project

With a history rich in industry innovation and UGC marketing, MOMENTiQ has set benchmarks with billions of impressions and is the trusted partner of global brands that are household names today.

Speaking of industry innovation, MOMENTiQ was the agency that brought TikTok Shop to the US market. ByteDance got the agency on board for its introduction of the social commerce platform in a bid to capture the US market. In fact, MOMENTiQ is the only US agency to be invited to the ByteDance headquarters. 

We all know how successful that campaign was, with TikTok Shop being a prominent name in the social commerce world today. In a recent study, 28% of TikTok users said they’ve found a brand through the TikTok Shop who they purchased something from.

Even more, TikTok now ranks fourth in terms of the platforms offering the best social commerce experience globally. The platform is even above X and Pinterest, which have had a much longer time to make an impact. MOMENTiQ is largely to be credited for this success.

TikTok isn’t the only company that has benefitted from MOMENTiQ’s expertise. The agency also assisted The Recording Academy in making the 2024 Grammy Awards a success. 

Thanks to MOMENTiQ’s efforts, the Grammy Awards reached its largest audience since 2020, with a peak viewership of 18.25 million at one point during the show. Forbes also reported,

The Grammy Awards easily dominated social media on Sunday with 62.6 billion potential impressions, according to NetBase, ranking as the #1 social entertainment event, to-date, of 2024.

The success of this extent was partially due to MOMENTiQ’s influencer and UGC campaign for the company. MOMENTiQ worked with top US influencers to show the behind-the-scenes at the Grammys. Meanwhile, smaller UGC creators created content before the show to create a buzz around it, urging people to watch it on Paramount, the award show’s streaming partner platform.

Key Services

In the past few years, MOMENTiQ has offered its services to many large brands, including Clove, Mattel, NZXT, and American Express. The agency’s brand UGC post creation service is the most notable in this regard. 

MOMENTiQ’s strategists engage top-selling TikTok Shop creators to produce branded content at a massive scale. The brand can then use this content on its TikTok account or in paid Shop campaigns

Brand UGC post creation

Other than TikTok, MOMENTiQ also curates UGC for YouTube. So brands that want a blend of YouTube and TikTok content should turn to the agency for its services. The agency doesn’t yet provide UGC solutions for other platforms. 

For brands that want to run affiliate programs, MOMENTiQ also provides organic affiliate outreach. The agency identifies potential affiliates, reaches out to them through its network, and manages the entire process from start to finish. MOMENTiQ’s creator network has a collective follower base of 700 million. Brands can run Live Selling campaigns with these creators to promote their products via live streams

Together with UGC content, these strategies can be complemented with paid Shop ad campaigns, which help amplify brand reach and engagement on TikTok.

10. The Goat Agency

The Goat Agency

Best for: Medium and Large Brands

Year Founded: 2015

Location: London, UK • New York, NY

Industries Served: Gaming, Tech, FMCG, Beauty, Lifestyle, Entertainment

Services: Influencer strategy, creator sourcing, UGC production, paid media amplification, influencer-led commerce, data analytics and measurement

Pricing: Campaigns typically start at $50K

Notable Clients: Heineken, Qualcomm Snapdragon, World of Warcraft, NIVEA, Amazon, Meta, Google

The Goat Agency is a globally scaled influencer marketing powerhouse that integrates creators, content, and media under one roof. Founded in London and now operating worldwide, Goat has delivered over 50,000 campaigns and 10 billion views across industries ranging from gaming and tech to FMCG and fashion.

The agency is known for its proprietary data platform IBEX, which powers discovery, measurement, and optimization—enabling brands to run influencer marketing with the same rigor as paid media. Goat bridges cultural storytelling with commerce outcomes, helping brands shift perception, build relevance, and drive measurable sales across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitch.

Data-Led Strategy Through IBEX Analytics

Goat’s proprietary analytics platform, IBEX, tracks performance across every creator, piece of content, and paid placement. The tool connects influencer engagement metrics to downstream business outcomes like conversions, sentiment, and revenue. This data-driven backbone enables real-time retargeting and creative iteration, positioning Goat as a hybrid of influencer agency and performance media firm.

End-to-End Content and Media Integration

Unlike traditional influencer agencies that stop at content delivery, Goat runs influencer creative across an extensive paid media ecosystem. It places influencer-generated content into more paid placements than any other agency, amplifying organic reach with precision targeting.

The team designs campaigns that are not just socially native but fully commerce-enabled, ensuring that each post can directly drive clicks, purchases, or lead captures.

Global Scale with Local Cultural Fluency

With offices in London and New York and partnerships across TikTok, Meta, Google, and Amazon, Goat executes campaigns that resonate across markets while retaining local authenticity. Its in-house creative strategists collaborate with regional creators who understand language, humor, and subculture, ensuring global consistency without creative dilution.

Proof of Performance

  • Heineken: A culture-led UGC activation turned a London pop-up into a digital phenomenon. The campaign generated 1.2M organic views and earned Shorty Awards finalist recognition for Best Launch Campaign.
  • Qualcomm Snapdragon: Goat brought technology to life through festival storytelling with music and lifestyle creators. Results: 265M impressions, 14M engagements, and $422K in direct revenue, showcasing how cross-vertical influencers can bridge tech and culture.
  • World of Warcraft: To expand beyond its gaming niche, Blizzard partnered with Goat for a crossover creator strategy spanning Instagram, TikTok, Twitch, and YouTube Shorts. The campaign achieved 631K engagements, 90% positive sentiment, and two award nominations, proving Goat’s ability to modernize legacy IPs for new audiences.

Pros

  • Proprietary IBEX analytics platform linking engagement to ROI
  • Massive scale and cross-market execution capabilities
  • Strong partnerships with global media platforms (TikTok, Amazon, Meta, Google)
  • Proven performance in both awareness and conversion campaigns

Cons

  • Large-agency structure may be less agile for small or fast-turnaround projects
  • Premium pricing model better suited for enterprise-scale budgets

Why It Stands Out

The Goat Agency has redefined influencer marketing at scale, treating creators not as media buys but as integrated components of brand ecosystems. Its combination of creative strategy, proprietary analytics, and omnichannel amplification positions it as one of the most advanced and accountable influencer agencies in the world.

11. LTK (formerly rewardStyle and LIKEtoKNOW.it)

LTK (formerly rewardStyle and LIKEtoKNOW.it)

Best for: Enterprises and Large brands

Year Founded: 2011 (formerly rewardStyle and LIKEtoKNOW.it)

Location: Dallas, TX (HQ) • London, UK • São Paulo, Brazil • Seoul, South Korea

Industries Served: Fashion, Beauty, Home, Lifestyle, Technology, Retail, Travel

Services: Creator commerce platform, influencer affiliate marketing, AI-powered performance analytics, brand collaborations, and content amplification

Pricing: Minimum project size $50K

Notable Clients: Revolve, Sephora, H&M, Walmart, Samsung, Wayfair

LTK, formerly rewardStyle and LIKEtoKNOW.it, is the largest global creator-commerce platform, enabling brands to scale sales through shoppable influencer content. Built on over 14 years of proprietary data, LTK connects more than 40 million active shoppers with curated content from hundreds of thousands of verified creators.

Its AI-enriched recommendation engine personalizes content for consumers based on location, style, and purchase behavior, while giving brands access to granular performance insights. With over $5 billion in annual brand sales and 3.1× higher conversion rates than social averages, LTK serves as both an influencer network and a high-performing affiliate sales engine.

AI-Enhanced Creator Commerce Ecosystem

LTK’s end-to-end system unites creators, brands, and shoppers within a single data-rich environment. The platform’s AI technology analyzes billions of engagement points to match brands with creators who deliver proven ROI. Marketers can tap into real-time performance dashboards, sales attribution models, and predictive analytics to forecast outcomes before scaling campaigns.

Global Scale With a Community-First Model

Operating in over ten languages and 100+ countries, LTK’s creator network spans every major retail vertical. The community-first structure allows creators to share insights, campaign ideas, and brand learnings directly within the platform—creating network virality and consistent performance uplift.

LTK’s consumer app functions as a dedicated shopping destination, driving twice the reach of standard influencer content while maintaining native authenticity.

Performance Transparency and Sales Attribution

LTK’s unique affiliate framework provides full-funnel visibility from impression to purchase. Brands can track not only engagement and clicks but also cart data, SKU-level conversions, and repeat-purchase behavior.

This makes it one of the few platforms that directly ties influencer activity to verified sales metrics. Combined with in-app checkout and custom storefronts, LTK turns creator content into measurable commerce at scale.

Proof of Performance

  • Revolve: Through sustained affiliate activations and seasonal capsule collaborations, Revolve built one of the highest-performing creator ecosystems on LTK, driving consistent sell-outs across fashion drops and festival collections.
  • Sephora: Using LTK’s performance analytics and creator storefronts, Sephora optimized influencer-led beauty campaigns that boosted conversion and AOV across multiple regions, establishing measurable sales attribution for product launches.

Pros

  • Industry-leading creator-commerce infrastructure with verified purchase data
  • AI-powered campaign matching and predictive performance modeling
  • Integrated consumer app for direct shoppable engagement
  • 14+ years of global data supporting benchmark accuracy

Cons

  • Platform access favors established brands with higher minimum spend
  • Limited creative customization outside platform guidelines

Why It Stands Out

LTK has evolved from an affiliate network into the world’s most advanced creator-commerce ecosystem. Its combination of AI analytics, authenticated sales tracking, and an engaged global shopper community allows brands to treat influencer marketing as a direct-response channel rather than an awareness play.

12. The Influencer Marketing Factory

The Influencer Marketing Factory

Best for: Enterprises and Large brands

Year Founded: 2018

Location: Miami, FL • New York, NY • Milan, Italy • London, UK • Amsterdam, NL

Industries Served: Consumer Electronics, Beauty & Skincare, Lifestyle, Events, Apps, Travel, Family, and Entertainment

Services: UGC production, influencer sourcing and management, paid social amplification, content licensing, reporting and analytics, TikTok and Instagram advertising

Pricing: Minimum campaign size $20K

Notable Clients: HiSense, REN Skincare, Fever, Universal Music Group, Google

The Influencer Marketing Factory (IMF) is a global full-service influencer and UGC agency that merges storytelling with measurable performance. The agency specializes in native social content production across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, developing end-to-end activations that span creator sourcing, logistics, content approvals, and campaign optimization.

IMF’s methodology is highly process-oriented: every engagement begins with a creative brief, followed by detailed creator vetting (the top 1% of talent in each niche), streamlined shipping workflows, and real-time reporting dashboards.

Their expertise extends beyond standard influencer campaigns into scalable UGC production that feeds both organic and paid social channels. IMF’s content model focuses on platform-native authenticity, ensuring videos are designed for engagement first and formatted for reuse across Spark Ads, Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

Structured, End-to-End UGC Workflow

The Influencer Marketing Factory operates as a content pipeline rather than a one-off creative shop. The agency’s six-stage process streamlines UGC execution at scale. Brands benefit from rapid turnaround times, cohesive creative alignment, and complete campaign ownership (including media rights and performance analytics).

This makes IMF ideal for brands needing repeatable social content that feels organic yet adheres to brand guardrails.

Global Creator Network with Niche Precision

IMF’s vetting system narrows thousands of applicants down to the top-performing 1% of creators across industries such as tech, beauty, and lifestyle. Its international network allows brands to activate across regions simultaneously, with localized content that mirrors platform trends and consumer culture.

From unboxing videos and product demos to family-oriented vlogs, IMF ensures each deliverable is both native to its channel and relevant to its audience.

Data-Driven Campaign Measurement

Each activation is tracked through proprietary reporting tools that measure not just reach, but downstream metrics like link clicks, conversions, engagement rates, and sentiment. The agency uses these insights to continually refine creative direction and platform targeting—building iterative performance improvement over time.

Proof of Performance

  • HiSense x UEFA EURO 2024: IMF led a multi-country campaign combining influencer watch parties and on-site activations in Germany, driving 4.2M+ views, 72K+ likes, and 12.2K link clicks. The strategy showcased the HiSense U8 100-inch TV and generated significant earned attention across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada.
  • Fever’s Bubble Planet Experience: To promote the immersive event series, IMF secured 198 influencers and VIPs with a collective reach of 50M+ followers and 3.7M+ views, achieving a 5.6% engagement rate. The activation merged lifestyle, family, and fashion creators to expand awareness across London’s social scene.
  • REN Skincare: A brand-awareness campaign for the Evercalm Rescue Mask achieved 50M+ combined followers reached, 5.8M+ views, and 492K+ likes, generating meaningful organic conversations around sensitive-skin care.

Pros

  • Strong cross-platform UGC specialization (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube)
  • Proven global influencer management with logistics handled in-house
  • Emphasis on measurable performance (clicks, conversions, sentiment)
  • Creative control supported by detailed briefs and KPI tracking

Cons

  • High campaign customization can lengthen onboarding for smaller clients
  • Heavy focus on short-form video; limited long-form or B2B scope

Why It Stands Out

The Influencer Marketing Factory distinguishes itself through its precision-built structure and end-to-end campaign management. It functions as both a creative studio and performance partner—handling every operational detail from creator sourcing to post-campaign analytics

13. NeoReach

NeoReach

Notable clients: Airbnb, Walmart, Amazon

Location and global presence: Headquartered in San Francisco, USA

Year founded: 2014

Content specialization: Influencer-driven content

Pricing: Minimum spend of $50,000 per project

As one of the top influencer marketing agencies, NeoReach makes it easy to manage and track UGC campaigns. What’s more, the agency also has a global community of content creators across virtually all genres. Neoreach also offers summer internships to mentor upcoming influencers that it can later involve in its clients’ campaigns.

 

Not only does its massive creator network make it easy to find the best voices, but the agency’s team will also help you to source the right ones. From there, NeoReach also takes care of all the technical matters like contract negotiation, shipping (if needed), payments, performance reporting, and communication. 

For example, when NeoReach helped Byrna, a company creating personal protection devices, the agency took control of all tasks involved in the campaign. 

NeoReach found micro-creators in relevant niches, such as real estate and travel. The agency identified ten UGC creators who would be perfect to get Byrna’s message across.

Byrna case study results

Byrna case study results

NeoReach’s creators posted content directing people to the company’s website. With just 26 UGC content placements, NeoReach managed to reach 22k engagements. NeoReach’s understanding of the UGC landscape definitely helped.

Another brand that benefited from Neoreach’s expertise is Laifen. The company wanted to create some hype around its electric toothbrush close to their CES conference appearance.

NeoReach carefully selected eight content creators across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube to attend the CES conference at which Laifen was launching their new toothbrush. The creators were all from dental health, tech, unboxing, and similar niches, and Laifen encouraged them to share their experiences at CES with followers.

Videos from the conference and hands-on demonstrations of the toothbrush in action resonated with the target audience. With 14.6 million total impressions, it’s evident that authentic user-generated content was precisely what Laifen needed for this product launch.

Laifen case study results

Key Services

Having worked for companies like Honda, The New York Times, Walmart, and Amazon, NeoReach has extensive experience working with companies of all sizes. 

For UGC content creation, NeoReach begins the process with an audit of the client’s existing customer behavior, channels, motivations, and needs. The agency uses this data to understand what users want.

NeoReach creative strategy and direction

NeoReach creative strategy and direction

It also gauges potential return on investment (ROI) for the audience group. From there, the agency develops a performance marketing campaign with lifetime value in mind so that the client’s customer acquisition cost (CAC) doesn’t exceed their lifetime value (LTV)

The agency further deploys UGC from the brand’s existing influencer content and curates entirely new content. NeoReach also uses its proprietary technology to track and measure the performance of all UGC campaigns, providing clients with real-time data and insights to optimize their campaigns for maximum impact. 

For the media buying side of things, NeoReach keeps an eye on everything from sign-ups and checks to installs and retargeting. The agency’s services extend across Facebook, TikTok, Google, Instagram, Snapchat, and other channels. More importantly, NeoReach stays on top of regulatory changes so that your content is always compliant.

 

Since NeoReach also offers APIs and self-service software, clients can take matters into their own hands, too. These tools allow clients to find UGC creators themselves and track their performance. 

With integration capability for more than 400 custom data points, NeoReach’s software makes clients’ in-house technologies more insightful. It also features a world-class fraud detection system to scan UGC creators’ profiles and active campaign posts to detect fake followers and post-campaign fraud.

14. ARCH.

ARCH.

Notable clients: Binance, Surfshark, Wargaming, Candivore

Location and global presence: Headquarters in Zagreb, Croatia, worldwide presence

Year founded: 2019

Content specialization: UGC production

Pricing: Minimum spend of $10,000 per project

Arch is a performance-driven UGC agency specializing in creating high-quality user-generated content (UGC) specifically for games and apps. Their in-house team produces creative assets tailored to meet your performance marketing goals.

With an impressive track record working with top-tier clients like World of Warships, Match Masters, and MyHeritage, their focus on delivering results is evident.

What sets Arch apart is their process. From initial brainstorming to final delivery, they work closely with you, acting as an extension of your team. Their approach includes developing three different versions per creative concept, each with multiple hooks for testing, ensuring that you have plenty of variations to optimize for CPI and ROAS. 

In one successful collaboration with SuperPlay, the publisher behind Dice Dreams, the idea was to drive user-generated content (UGC) and maximize game installs. The brand aimed to dominate mobile gaming charts across Europe, the US, and Australia. SuperPlay turned to Arch to create a creative influencer strategy that would boost engagement and install numbers on multiple platforms.

Strategic Approach:

Arch’s strategy focused on leveraging over 500 influencers across seven platforms, including YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Discord. Their unique approach centered around “perfect fits,” creators with the ideal audience and charisma to effectively promote Dice Dreams

With more than 1,500 activations across 15 countries, Arch helped Dice Dreams soar to the top of the App Store and Play Store charts. The success of the campaign led to SuperPlay entrusting Arch with a second game title, Domino Dreams, in November 2023.

Their clients rave about their professionalism and effectiveness. For example, Ran Ben Shimon from SuperPlay praised their ability to meet performance goals, while Eylül Derviş of Masomo appreciated the measurable impact Arch had on their campaigns, noting a significant difference in key performance indicators like CPI and ROAS.

15. inBeat Agency

inBeat Agency

Best for: Enterprises and Large brands

Year Founded: 2019

Location: Montreal, Canada

Industries Served: E-commerce, Consumer Packaged Goods, Apps, Lifestyle, Fitness, and Retail

Services: UGC video production, influencer recruitment, paid social creative testing, micro-influencer seeding, performance analytics

Pricing: Minimum campaign size $50,000

Notable Clients: Disney, Nestlé, Bumble, New Balance, 7-Eleven

inBeat Agency is a data-led UGC and influencer marketing agency that specializes in scalable, performance-oriented content creation for social and paid campaigns.

Built around a vetted community of top-tier creators (the top 2% of performers across niches), inBeat functions as an extension of in-house growth teams, supplying a continuous flow of authentic short-form content optimized for conversion.

The agency operates across TikTok, Instagram, and Meta ecosystems, providing creative testing frameworks that pair social-native storytelling with measurable ROI. With certified partnerships across TikTok, Meta, and Google, inBeat bridges the gap between brand authenticity and ad performance—delivering ad-ready assets that feed directly into paid social pipelines or organic channels.

Performance-Driven Creator Network

inBeat’s competitive advantage lies in its exclusive community of high-performing creators, each vetted for past performance, engagement quality, and conversion outcomes.

Unlike open marketplaces, the agency manually curates its roster based on CPA efficiency and creative quality. This guarantees brands are paired with creators whose styles already align with proven social trends—reducing risk and accelerating content success.

Full-Funnel Creative Utility

inBeat’s deliverables extend beyond top-of-funnel awareness. Their UGC assets are intentionally built to fuel multiple channels—from Facebook Ads and TikTok Spark Ads to e-commerce product pages, email campaigns, and Amazon listings.

Each asset is optimized for a specific customer touchpoint, giving performance marketers modular creative components that maintain visual consistency and storytelling flow across the funnel.

Scalable Testing and Optimization System

The agency’s workflow emphasizes rapid iteration and data-backed refinement. Every campaign begins with a creative brief and proceeds through structured testing to identify which messaging, format, and creator style delivers the best cost-per-result (CPR).

The internal analytics team monitors key metrics and reports back actionable insights to clients, ensuring the creative pipeline continuously evolves toward higher ROI.

Proof of Performance

  • Got Milk?: inBeat developed a Gen Z-focused TikTok campaign blending humor and lifestyle storytelling. The collaboration involved 20 athletes who created content resulting in 250k views and 10k likes.
  • Soylent: Through testimonial-style UGC emphasizing convenience and flavor, inBeat produced 50+ multi-platform content that resulted in 5 million impressions.
  • Nordstrom x Wilfang: inBeat creators delivered high-conversion product demos and lifestyle shots that strengthened brand visibility in younger demographics, driving measurable sales lift during key seasonal pushes.

Pros

  • Exclusive top-tier creator network focused on performance outcomes
  • Strong cross-platform integration for paid and organic channels
  • Certified partnerships with TikTok, Meta, and Google
  • Scalable production suited for continuous testing

Cons

  • Focus on short-form performance content may not suit awareness-only campaigns
  • Premium creator selection increases costs relative to generic UGC providers

Why It Stands Out

inBeat Agency combines UGC authenticity with paid media precision, making it a standout partner for brands that treat creative as a performance lever rather than a cost center.

By integrating creative testing, conversion analytics, and a meticulously vetted creator pool, inBeat delivers UGC that doesn’t just “look native”—it drives measurable sales impact.

16. yellowHEAD

yellowHEAD

Best for: Enterprises and Large Brands

Year Founded: 2013

Location: Brooklyn, New York

Industries Served: Mobile Apps, Gaming, E-commerce, Consumer Tech, Lifestyle

Services: UGC strategy and production, performance creative optimization, A/B testing, ASO, SEO, paid user acquisition, programmatic advertising

Pricing: Minimum campaign size $5,000

Notable Clients: Google, Playtika, Zynga, Yubo, Dorel, MyHeritage

yellowHEAD is a full-service digital marketing agency recognized for its data-driven approach to UGC creation. Blending creative storytelling with analytics, the agency positions UGC as a performance engine rather than a standalone content tactic.

Their model integrates creator collaboration, multivariate creative testing, and AI-powered analytics—bridging the gap between authentic storytelling and measurable growth outcomes.

With a heritage in app growth and paid user acquisition, yellowHEAD’s UGC services are engineered to lower acquisition costs while boosting engagement. The agency manages the full pipeline, brief development, creator selection, content production, editing, and testing, using its proprietary Alison Creative Intelligence platform to evaluate and refine each creative.

Data-Driven Creative Intelligence

yellowHEAD’s biggest differentiator is its Alison Creative Technology, an in-house AI system that analyzes thousands of creative data points, from on-screen pacing to facial expression and tone.

By pairing UGC creation with Alison’s predictive analysis, the agency identifies high-performing visual and narrative elements that drive real results—such as CPI reductions and CTR improvements. This capability transforms UGC from subjective art into an empirically optimized growth asset.

Iterative Testing and Optimization Framework

Every UGC project follows a 360-degree optimization loop: ideate, test, analyze, and refine. In one benchmark case, yellowHEAD tested five variations of a single UGC concept, identifying the top performer that delivered a 45% lower CPA and 36% lower CPI compared to campaign averages.

Iterations focused on narrative intros, parental context, and emotional triggers, resulting in a 13% CTR increase and a 30% lower CPC. This iterative rigor exemplifies their philosophy of creative refinement through quantitative insight.

Full-Funnel UGC Integration

Unlike agencies focused solely on social assets, yellowHEAD repurposes UGC across ads, websites, app stores, and owned channels, ensuring consistent brand storytelling. Their team provides post-production assets, enabling brands to extend the reach of each UGC creative into programmatic ads, landing pages, and ASO previews.

The result is cohesive messaging across every user touchpoint, maximizing content efficiency and ROI.

Proof of Performance

  • Creative UGC Test Campaign (Mobile App Client)
    • +14% CTR and 8% CPI compared to benchmarks
    • Subsequent optimization yielded 45% lower CPA and 36% lower CPI through refined creator iterations
    • Final campaign demonstrated 30% lower CPC and 13% higher CTR from intro testing variations

Key Outcome: Demonstrated how AI-assisted iteration cycles could achieve measurable improvements across acquisition and engagement KPIs while maintaining authenticity in creative output.

Pros

  • AI-powered creative analytics platform (Alison) for precision insights
  • Strong expertise in paid user acquisition and app marketing
  • Proven performance metrics across CTR, CPA, and CPI benchmarks
  • End-to-end production with post-production adaptation for multiple formats

Cons

  • More suited to app and growth-driven brands than lifestyle or organic-only campaigns
  • Premium pricing reflects data-science integration and analytics depth

Why It Stands Out

yellowHEAD redefines UGC through the lens of performance marketing and creative intelligence. By merging authentic user content with analytical rigor, it delivers campaigns that outperform standard ad creatives across acquisition and engagement metrics.

Their combination of Alison AI, seasoned performance strategists, and cross-platform creative execution makes yellowHEAD a top-tier choice for brands that view UGC as a scalable growth driver rather than a static content play.

17. Crafted

Crafted

Best for: Brands of all sizes

Year Founded: 2018

Location: Adelaide, South Australia

Industries Served: Consumer Goods, Wellness, Fashion, Tech Accessories, Home & Lifestyle

Services: UGC video production, paid social ad creative testing, TikTok and Meta creative strategy, ongoing performance optimization

Pricing: Undisclosed

Notable Clients: Paperlike, LARQ, Vivoo

Crafted is a performance-driven UGC video ad agency specializing in scalable content production for e-commerce brands. Operating at the intersection of creativity and conversion, Crafted delivers high-performing TikTok, Meta, and Instagram video ads that consistently improve return on ad spend (ROAS).

Their signature process, the Lift Off UGC Formula™, combines creator casting, structured scripting, and monthly data optimization to drive continuous ad performance gains.

With more than 2,000+ video ads produced for 100+ e-commerce brands, Crafted has established a clear niche: helping Shopify and DTC brands turn social authenticity into measurable profit.

Conversion-Focused Video Frameworks

Crafted’s Lift Off UGC Formula™ is built around structured creative blueprints optimized for direct-response performance. Every ad concept includes multiple hooks, storytelling arcs, and call-to-action variations to accelerate learning cycles.

This system allows clients to test creative angles quickly, driving significant improvements in cost-per-acquisition and click-through rates while reducing dependency on traditional brand shoots.

Managed Creator Network and End-to-End Production

The agency manages a private network of 2,000+ vetted UGC creators across diverse demographics and product categories. Each campaign starts with tailored scripting and casting, followed by full in-house editing and post-production.

Brands receive ad-ready variations including unboxings, testimonials, and customer review-style clips, all formatted for TikTok, Meta, and Instagram placements.

Ongoing Creative Iteration and Optimization

Crafted’s process doesn’t end with delivery. The team tracks performance across all creatives, identifies top performers, and uses those learnings to inform the next month’s content batch.

This perpetual testing cycle enables compounding creative performance, where each iteration refines what works and drops what doesn’t—making it an ideal partner for brands scaling paid media campaigns.

Proof of Performance

  • Paperlike: Crafted produced a top-of-funnel TikTok ad sequence that achieved a 7x ROAS, turning $66K in ad spend into $521K in sales, while lowering cost per purchase by 40%.
  • LARQ: Within three weeks, Crafted’s UGC ads reached 4x ROAS, outperforming previous creative benchmarks through stronger storytelling and better early hooks.
  • Vivoo: Through product demo and testimonial-style UGC, Crafted doubled ad performance compared to prior top-performing creatives, improving engagement rate and watch time.

Pros

  • Proven UGC ad system designed for e-commerce ROAS optimization
  • Streamlined monthly workflow with ongoing creative refreshes
  • Diverse creator community with direct management
  • Performance-first structure with measurable outcomes

Cons

  • Limited to paid ad-focused deliverables; less suitable for long-form organic campaigns
  • Currently operating on a waitlist due to high demand

Why It Stands Out

Crafted’s strength lies in treating UGC not as content, but as a predictable growth engine. Their repeatable Lift Off UGC Formula™ allows brands to plug directly into a proven creative system that scales ad performance over time.

This integration of technology and talent enables precise audience matching and transparent performance evaluation across YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, and other social platforms.

AI-Enhanced Influencer Targeting

Cloutboost’s biggest differentiator is its AI-powered campaign portal, which consolidates influencer discovery, analytics, and project management into a single environment.

Each creator is vetted across 50+ data points, including engagement quality, audience overlap, and platform performance. This allows the agency to eliminate low-quality placements and maximize cost efficiency across campaigns.

Full-Cycle Gaming Expertise

Unlike generalist influencer agencies, Cloutboost’s team is composed of gaming veterans who understand player psychology, platform algorithms, and community behavior. From launch activations to retargeting and post-release engagement, the agency builds influencer funnels that mirror player journeys—from awareness to conversion.

Transparent Analytics and ROI Tracking

Every campaign is supported by daily-updated automated reports that integrate directly with social media APIs. Cloutboost’s built-in ROI Calculator predicts reach, conversions, and estimated returns before campaign launch, ensuring measurable outcomes and budget transparency.

Proof of Performance

  • PONOS – The Battle Cats 10-Year Anniversary
    • 29M Impressions, 915K Views, and 15.5K Likes
    • Boosted engagement for the mobile game’s milestone celebration, reactivating fans and attracting new players

Pros

  • Gaming-specific influencer expertise with decades of experience

  • Transparent analytics dashboard and ROI modeling tools
  • Proven record of boosting engagement for global gaming franchises

Cons

  • Primarily focused on gaming; not ideal for non-entertainment verticals

Why It Stands Out

Its combination of AI infrastructure, gaming domain expertise, and proven global reach positions it among the most advanced agencies for video game influencer marketing.

19. Lastnight Media

Lastnight Media

Best for: Brands of all sizes

Year Founded: 2017

Location: Woolloongabba, Queensland, Australia

Industries Served: Mobile Gaming, Fintech, Tech, E-commerce, Lifestyle

Services: UGC video production, influencer marketing, mobile app ad creatives, TikTok-style video editing

Pricing: Undisclosed

Notable Clients: Royal Match, Spriggy, Retake AI, PicUp, Feasibility IQ, Blackout Bingo

Lastnight Media is an Australian UGC and influencer video production agency specializing in ad-ready short-form creatives for mobile games and apps. The agency combines the aesthetic of native TikTok and Reels content with a conversion-focused creative strategy, producing videos that drive installs, purchases, and user engagement.

Operating out of Queensland, Lastnight Media has built a reputation for delivering performance-grade UGC ads that look organic but are engineered for metrics like CTR, CVR, and ROAS. Their campaigns blend influencer authenticity, platform trends, and structured scripting, ensuring that every video feels natural yet persuasive.

Platform-Native Creative Execution

Lastnight Media’s team excels at crafting authentic, platform-native content that fits seamlessly into TikTok, Instagram, and mobile ad ecosystems. Their editors use real user perspectives, trending formats, and fast-paced storytelling to create UGC that both entertains and converts.

Campaigns such as Royal Match and Spriggy demonstrate their ability to produce native-feeling videos that outperform traditional paid ads in attention and engagement.

End-to-End UGC Production Workflow

The agency manages every step of production in-house—from casting and scripting to shooting and editing—ensuring consistent quality control and fast delivery. Each video ad concept is built around a tested structure: strong opening hooks, personality-driven narratives, and clear calls-to-action.

This formula consistently achieves higher view-through and engagement rates for performance marketers.

Creative Optimization Across Campaigns

With experience in over a dozen high-velocity verticals, Lastnight Media continuously refines ad templates based on prior results. Their Lift-Off iteration model ensures that each client receives multiple variations of creatives optimized for A/B testing. This iterative approach helps brands achieve measurable lifts in CTR and conversion rates over successive campaigns.

Proof of Performance

  • Royal MatchGRWM Concept: Used on-trend “Get Ready With Me” content to merge gameplay with lifestyle aesthetics, resulting in higher user engagement and improved conversion metrics.
  • Retake AIInstant Fix Campaign: Deployed real-use-case storytelling with engaging overlays and motion graphics, achieving notable increases in click-through and completion rates.
  • SpriggySaving With Spriggy Campaign: Combined ASMR-style audio with concise scripting and fast editing to improve ad watch time and app install performance on TikTok.

Pros

  • Native-style UGC production optimized for mobile ads
  • Rapid creative turnaround (typically within four weeks)
  • In-house control over shooting, editing, and delivery
  • Consistent use of tested creative frameworks for conversions

Cons

  • Primarily focused on mobile apps and gaming clients
  • Limited emphasis on long-form or brand storytelling campaigns

Why It Stands Out

Lastnight Media distinguishes itself through its fusion of UGC authenticity and ad performance precision. The agency doesn’t just produce viral-looking videos—it crafts conversion-ready ad assets tailored for the app economy. Its data-informed creative process and platform fluency make it a top partner for growth marketers seeking scalable, ROI-driven content on TikTok, Meta, and mobile platforms.


20. Lauren Labeled

Lauren Labeled

Best for: Small to Medium size Brands

Year Founded: 2021

Location: Tampa Bay, Florida, USA

Industries Served: Fashion, Beauty, Wellness, Consumer Goods, Mobile Apps, Lifestyle

Services: Paid UGC ad creative production, TikTok ad management, organic TikTok growth, creator sourcing and management

Pricing: Undisclosed

Notable Clients: We’re Not Really Strangers, Mandala Scrubs, Stars & Honey, Jinx

Lauren Labeled is a Gen-Z–led UGC performance agency specializing in ad creatives that merge TikTok-native storytelling with direct response marketing. The team handles everything from creative strategy to media buying, producing data-backed short-form videos that consistently reduce CPA and improve ROAS for fast-growing brands.

Positioned as both a UGC studio and ad partner, Lauren Labeled simplifies creator management and content sourcing for DTC marketers. Instead of brands juggling freelancers or creator marketplaces, the agency provides a full pipeline of ad-ready creatives delivered weekly, aligning closely with current trends, audience insights, and paid media objectives.

Performance UGC Ad Systems

Lauren Labeled’s approach goes beyond aesthetic UGC. Each creative is developed through data-informed briefs and ad angle testing, designed to capture attention in the first seconds while maintaining persuasive storytelling and clear CTAs.

Their paid ad services emphasize iterative testing frameworks, helping brands continuously improve ad performance through creative rotation and metrics tracking.

Creator Network and Turnkey Management

The agency curates and manages a private roster of vetted UGC creators across niches, handling all casting, contracts, and revisions. This allows brands to avoid the friction of influencer outreach or marketplaces while ensuring consistency in voice and quality. Clients receive fully produced ad variants weekly, optimized for Meta and TikTok ad placements, including A/B creative testing support.

Organic TikTok Management and Brand Growth

Beyond paid media, Lauren Labeled also manages organic TikTok accounts for brands looking to build community-driven reach. The team produces trend-aligned videos, manages content calendars, and ensures creative continuity between organic and paid posts. This dual offering enables brands to scale both brand awareness and conversion-focused UGC simultaneously.

Proof of Performance

  • We’re Not Really Strangers: Lauren Labeled produced a TikTok Shop campaign that increased revenue by 400x in just 60 days, transforming viral traffic into high-intent conversions through strategic UGC ad sequencing and affiliate collaboration.
  • Mandala Scrubs: Delivered a steady stream of high-performing ad creatives that improved cost-per-acquisition while freeing internal teams from creator management. Client testimonial praised their “hands-off” workflow and dependable results.
  • Jinx: Revitalized UGC ad performance for the pet wellness brand, delivering “best-in-class creative” that restored trust in UGC as a scalable ad channel.
  • Stars & Honey: Partnered on performance TikTok content that boosted paid media engagement and retention, with the client citing the agency’s professionalism and creative precision.

Pros

  • End-to-end UGC ad production with weekly creative delivery
  • Combines TikTok-native storytelling with paid media optimization
  • Full-service creator management and sourcing
  • Proven track record of measurable revenue lift through TikTok Shop and Meta ads

Cons

  • Focused primarily on short-form video; less emphasis on static or long-form formats
  • Best suited for brands already investing in paid social channels

Why It Stands Out

Lauren Labeled stands out as one of the few UGC agencies built for both creative execution and ad performance management. By merging Gen-Z cultural fluency with conversion data, the agency creates ads that feel organic yet perform like precision-engineered direct-response campaigns.


21. The UGC Agency

The UGC Agency

Best for: Enterprise Brands Seeking ROI-Driven UGC Campaigns

Year Founded: 2023

Location: Cheshire, United Kingdom

Industries Served: Consumer Tech, Real Estate, CPG, Lifestyle, SaaS, Apps

Services: UGC content production, creator sourcing and management, paid ad optimization, market intelligence, data analytics

Pricing: Undisclosed

Notable Clients: Bumble, Badoo, PepsiCo, Phillips, Barratt Developments, LastPass, Indeed, VaynerMedia

The UGC Agency (operating under The UGC Consultancy Limited) positions itself as a conversion-first content partner, blending authentic creator storytelling with technical media strategy. Unlike many creative studios focused purely on aesthetics, The UGC Agency builds its work around ROI, performance, and competitive analytics, helping brands turn social storytelling into measurable commercial results.

Headquartered in the UK, the agency supports brands globally across EMEA, the Americas, and APAC, and runs campaigns that merge data intelligence, influencer collaboration, and conversion funnel strategy. Its core strength lies in executing high-performing user-generated content that aligns creative experimentation with performance marketing metrics.

ROI and Data-Led Creative Production

The UGC Agency is known for integrating research, analytics, and creative execution into one unified process. Each engagement starts with a brand and market deep-dive, benchmarking performance against competitors, and identifying audience opportunities.

This analysis informs both content strategy and creator selection, ensuring that every asset directly contributes to measurable KPIs like CPA, ROAS, and CTR.

Full-Funnel UGC Framework

Campaigns are structured through a three-stage funnel model—Awareness, Consideration, and Conversion. The agency produces distinct content for each stage, from top-of-funnel storytelling and engagement hooks to retargeted ads optimized for purchase intent. This approach ensures seamless integration of creative and paid media performance, turning UGC into a strategic growth lever rather than an isolated experiment.

Global Creator Network and Speed to Launch

With access to an extensive creator roster across the UK, EMEA, USA, LATAM, and APAC, the agency delivers high-quality content at scale and at speed. Each campaign is supported by a structured content lifecycle—from ideation to approval—streamlined through dedicated analytics and creative teams.

Their ability to balance creative flexibility with data discipline makes them a strong partner for enterprise brands managing multiple product lines or regions.

Proof of Performance

  • Bumble: EMEA UGC Growth Strategy
    • Since early 2024, The UGC Agency has partnered with Bumble across EMEA, developing localized creator content for Bumble, Badoo, and Official.
    • Delivered authentic influencer-driven videos that boosted audience engagement and brand trust while maintaining consistent quality across markets.
    • Bumble’s Associate Director of Production praised the agency’s “unmatched reliability and creativity,” calling them “the most dependable UGC vendor I’ve worked with in 6+ years.
  • Performance Metrics Across Portfolio
    • 520% Average Return on Ad Spend (ROAS)
    • 100,000+ Conversions driven through paid and organic UGC campaigns
    • 60M+ Reach Potential, spanning multiple verticals

Pros

  • Enterprise-level expertise with proven success in large-scale campaigns
  • Data-led creative strategy integrated with paid media analytics
  • Strong global creator network and fast turnaround capability
  • Full-funnel campaign architecture linking creative to measurable outcomes

Cons

  • Higher pricing tiers may limit access for startups or small brands
  • Focused primarily on performance marketing, not long-form brand storytelling

Why It Stands Out

The UGC Agency is one of the few firms in the space to treat UGC as a strategic acquisition channel, not merely a creative deliverable. Its unique blend of data science, creator strategy, and ROI accountability makes it especially valuable for enterprise marketers seeking proof-backed creative investments.


22. The Social Savannah

The Social Savannah

Best for: DTC and E-commerce Brands Seeking TikTok-First UGC Ads That Convert

Year Founded: 2019

Location: Las Vegas, Nevada

Industries Served: Apparel, Beauty, Consumer Goods, Lifestyle, Mobile Apps

Services: UGC video production, TikTok and Snapchat ad creative strategy, creator sourcing, paid media optimization, A/B creative testing

Pricing: Undisclosed

Notable Clients: BYLT Basics, Snapchat, TikTok, Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram

The Social Savannah, founded by Savannah Sanchez, is a performance UGC agency and TikTok Creative Partner specializing in mobile-first ads for DTC and lifestyle brands. As both a certified Snapchat Ad Partner and TikTok Agency Partner, the agency merges creative authenticity with conversion-focused strategy, helping brands scale their paid campaigns with content designed to engage, entertain, and convert.

Operating through an agile creator network, The Social Savannah delivers new ad creatives weekly—allowing brands to maintain continuous creative testing cycles without managing multiple freelancers or agencies.

Their strength lies in creating platform-native content that aligns with each channel’s culture while staying tightly tethered to measurable performance goals.

TikTok-First Creative Expertise

As an official TikTok Creative Exchange partner, The Social Savannah has direct experience designing campaigns that maximize native engagement and action. The agency crafts trend-driven, on-brand video ads that use popular formats—such as “what I ordered vs. got,” try-ons, and first-person product reviews—to tap into viral momentum while showcasing product benefits and CTAs.

Conversion-Driven Ad Testing Framework

Savannah’s team emphasizes rapid creative iteration backed by in-platform data. Each week, brands receive new UGC ad variants for A/B testing across TikTok, Snapchat, and Meta Ads. The agency tracks CTR, CVR, ROAS, and CPM efficiency to guide creative direction. This process minimizes fatigue in ad accounts and ensures long-term performance optimization.

Creator-Led Production at Scale

The agency manages a close-knit network of vetted TikTok creators—many of whom are seasoned UGC producers with experience in fashion, lifestyle, and consumer tech. The Social Savannah coordinates product delivery, briefs, and content revisions internally, enabling fast turnaround and consistent quality control.

Brands simply ship products and receive ad-ready assets weekly.

Proof of Performance

  • BYLT Basics x TikTok Creative Exchange

Objective: Scale TikTok creative production and performance using platform-native UGC.

Execution: The Social Savannah produced a suite of TikTok-first videos featuring trend-based concepts (try-ons, “what I ordered vs got,” and reviews) highlighting BYLT’s men’s apparel line.

Results:

  • 22% higher ROAS vs. previous campaigns
  • 63% higher CTR
  • 13% lower CPC
  • 60% lower CPA and 52% higher CVR overall
  • 1.7M impressions generated
  • Campaign achieved 21% lower CPM than brand benchmarks

Pros

  • Official TikTok and Snapchat creative partner with verified case studies
  • Proven expertise in DTC and fashion verticals
  • Weekly content delivery supports agile creative testing
  • Creator-managed workflow ensures authentic, conversion-focused output

Cons

  • Primarily focused on short-form ads; limited offering for long-form video or brand storytelling
  • Solo-agency model may limit bandwidth for enterprise-scale, multi-market campaigns

Why It Stands Out

The Social Savannah distinguishes itself through hands-on creative leadership paired with verified TikTok partnership credentials. It’s one of the few UGC agencies where strategy, execution, and delivery are personally overseen by a platform-certified creator strategist with direct insight into ad algorithms and trends.


23. UGC SHOP

UGC SHOP

Best for: E-commerce Brands Seeking Fast-Turnaround UGC Ad Packages

Year Founded: 2020

Location: Montreal, Quebec

Industries Served: E-commerce, DTC, Beauty, Apparel, Tech, Lifestyle

Services: UGC video production, ad creatives, TikTok content, creator casting, multilingual content creation

Pricing: Undisclosed

Notable Clients: Revolut, Candy Crush, Fennel, N26

UGC Shop is a content creation studio and creator community that delivers short-form video ads and UGC assets for e-commerce brands. Founded in Montreal, the agency has built a streamlined production-on-demand model—allowing brands to order custom content packages directly from its website and receive ready-to-use video ads within 10 to 12 business days.

Rather than operating like a traditional influencer agency, UGC Shop functions more like a creative fulfillment hub: brands purchase fixed packages, complete a creative brief, and ship products for content production. This simplicity has made it a go-to partner for small to mid-size brands looking to scale TikTok and Meta ad creative quickly and affordably.

Fast and Scalable UGC Production

UGC Shop’s core advantage lies in its speed and structure. Each project follows a four-step pipeline: order placement, brief submission, product shipping, and final delivery. This enables the team to turn around high-quality ad content in 7-10 days, significantly faster than typical agency workflows. Brands can choose pre-set packages ranging from 4 to 20 videos, depending on their campaign scale and budget.

Global Creator Network

With a community of international creators fluent in five languages, UGC Shop offers localized creative production without the overhead of managing global contractors. The agency’s team and creators work across time zones, ensuring consistent communication and delivery even for brands running multi-market campaigns.

Performance-Ready Creative for E-commerce

Every deliverable is tailored for performance marketing channels like TikTok, Meta Ads, Amazon listings, and Shopify product pages. The agency emphasizes short-form video that follows direct-response principles—clear hooks, authentic testimonials, and native platform styles.

Its focus on sound-on storytelling and visual pacing helps boost retention and conversions for paid and organic content alike.

Proof of Performance

  • 193% higher 6-second view-through rate
  • 27% higher ad recall
  • 93% higher engagement rate compared to traditional creative assets

Client testimonials across the site highlight ease of process, global availability, and rapid content turnaround, positioning UGC Shop as a “done-for-you” creative partner for busy marketing teams.

Pros

  • Simple package-based pricing model with transparent deliverables
  • Fast production timeline (10–12 business days)
  • Global creator pool with multilingual capabilities
  • 24/7 live support and dedicated account managers
  • Ideal for TikTok, Meta, and Amazon ad content

Cons

  • Limited strategic consulting compared to full-service UGC agencies
  • Focused mainly on video ads, not broader influencer partnerships
  • Predefined packages may limit customization for complex campaigns

Why It Stands Out

UGC Shop bridges the gap between UGC authenticity and production scalability, offering brands a frictionless way to obtain high-performing ad creatives without lengthy onboarding or complex contracts.


24. Stacks Creative

Stacks Creative

Best for: UK and Ireland-Based Brands Seeking Scalable, Managed UGC Production

Year Founded: 2019

Location: Dublin, Ireland

Industries Served: E-commerce, Beauty, Finance, Hospitality, Consumer Apps

Services: UGC video production, creator sourcing, editing and subtitling, usage rights management, Meta ad creative support

Pricing: Minimum campaign size $1,000

Notable Clients: Solvar, Eden One, Helen Steele, Life Pharmacy, Inside Nutrition

Stacks Creative is a UGC production agency connecting brands with a vetted network of over 350 Ireland and UK-based creators to produce authentic, conversion-driven content for social and paid media. The agency was founded to eliminate the operational friction of sourcing, briefing, and managing creators at scale while maintaining high creative standards and fast delivery.

Unlike marketplaces that leave brands to coordinate directly with creators, Stacks Creative provides an end-to-end managed workflow—from brief development and creator matching to contracts, revisions, and final delivery.

Its goal is clear: to lower CPA (cost per acquisition) and boost revenue performance through relatable, high-quality video content optimized for TikTok, Meta, and Amazon placements.

UK & Ireland Creator Network

Stacks Creative’s strength lies in its regional specialization. With more than 300 active creators located across the UK and Ireland, the agency delivers content that reflects authentic local culture, language, and consumer behavior—a major differentiator for regional brands seeking relevance and relatability in their paid social strategies.

Fully Managed UGC Workflow

Stacks removes the common pain points of influencer collaboration. The team handles:

  • Creator sourcing and outreach
  • Contract drafting and negotiation
  • Product shipping and logistics
  • Revisions and feedback loops
  • Subtitling, editing, and formatting

This means marketers can focus on campaign strategy while Stacks manages creative execution and compliance, ensuring brand consistency and full rights ownership.

Paid Media Optimization Support

Beyond content creation, Stacks positions UGC within a broader ad performance strategy. Their creative team uses data-tested hooks and conversion principles—such as social proof intros, testimonial pacing, and product demos—to generate assets that are ready for A/B testing in Meta Ads, TikTok Ads, and Amazon Sponsored placements.

Pros

  • 350+ vetted UK and Ireland-based creators
  • Complete end-to-end workflow management
  • Fast, predictable delivery with built-in revisions
  • Expertise in Meta and TikTok ad creative optimization
  • Clear focus on CPA reduction and ROI performance

Cons

  • Regional creator network limits global brand coverage
  • Lacks in-house paid media management (UGC delivery only)
  • Limited portfolio transparency on public site

Why It Stands Out

Stacks Creative stands out as one of the few UK and Ireland-focused UGC agencies offering both local creator authenticity and structured scalability. Its operational model bridges the gap between boutique creator management and performance creative production—ideal for brands that want reliable, ready-to-launch content without micromanaging freelancers.


25. Clark Influence

Clark Influence

Best for: Enterprise and Mid-Market Brands

Year Founded: 2017

Location: Montreal, Quebec, Canada (with offices in Toronto, Paris, and Chicago)

Industries Served: Beauty, Fashion, Food, Travel, Tech, Lifestyle, Apps

Services: UGC campaign production, influencer marketing, creator sourcing, data analytics, content localization, cross-platform strategy

Pricing: Undisclosed

Notable Clients: Fruitz, PepsiCo, Philips, Badoo, VaynerMedia, Barratt Developments

Clark Influence is a global influencer and UGC marketing agency known for merging creative storytelling with performance-driven content strategy. Headquartered in Montreal with offices across Canada, France, and the U.S., Clark has evolved from a traditional influencer agency into a UGC campaign powerhouse specializing in cross-market, multilingual productions.

The agency’s UGC division focuses on authentic, conversion-focused content creation—developing campaign concepts that humanize brands and drive measurable engagement. Its approach combines data analytics, creative direction, and culturally relevant storytelling to deliver content that resonates across diverse markets and platforms.

Bilingual, Cross-Market Creative Execution

Clark Influence stands out for its bilingual production capability (English and French) and strong market presence across North America and Europe. This makes the agency particularly effective for brands expanding across Canada, France, and the U.S., where cultural nuance and localization matter.

Campaigns can be executed natively on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, with localized scripts and creator selection tailored to each region.

Data-Driven Campaign Design and Optimization

Clark pairs creative production with robust analytics and performance tracking. Through A/B testing, behavioral analysis, and KPI mapping, the agency refines creative iterations mid-campaign to optimize for conversions, engagement, and retention.

Their campaigns consistently outperform traditional media benchmarks—achieving up to 5x more conversions and 92% higher trust ratings compared to conventional advertising.

Human-Centered UGC Creation

Clark’s approach emphasizes authenticity and emotional connection over influencer reach. The agency collaborates with UGC creators who specialize in product storytelling, testimonials, unboxings, and lifestyle videos, producing content that brands can repurpose across their owned channels. Their turnkey workflow covers:

  • Creative brief and concept development
  • Creator sourcing and casting
  • Content production and review
  • Publishing strategy and rights management
  • Campaign analysis and reporting

This model allows brands to scale creative testing and maintain a consistent visual identity across regions.

Proof of Performance

  • Fruitz Case Study:

Clark partnered with the Fruitz dating app to strengthen its Gen Z presence across Canada. The agency launched a bilingual UGC campaign that featured eight creators producing TikTok videos in French and English, blending platform trends with Fruitz-branded elements.

The result was a vibrant, trend-driven content library that increased engagement and diversified Fruitz’s TikTok presence throughout the summer season.

Pros

  • Bilingual execution (English and French) for North American and European markets
  • Full-service influencer and UGC campaign management
  • Advanced data analytics and KPI optimization
  • Strong network of vetted creators across Canada, France, and the U.S.
  • Proven track record with enterprise clients

Cons

  • Pricing may be high for small DTC brands
  • Turnaround times are longer for multi-market campaigns
  • Primarily campaign-based (not a self-serve or SaaS workflow model)

Why It Stands Out

Clark Influence is one of the few creative agencies combining influencer marketing, UGC production, and cultural localization under one roof. Its international footprint, multilingual creative team, and data-informed strategy make it ideal for brands seeking to build trust and drive conversions across multiple geographies.


26. Theory Crew

Theory Crew

Best for: Australian Brands Seeking Scalable, High-Volume UGC and Influencer Campaigns

Year Founded: 2012

Location: Armadale, Victoria, Australia

Industries Served: FMCG, Beauty, Health & Wellness, Fashion, Lifestyle, E-commerce

Services: UGC production, influencer marketing, paid social, PR, performance marketing, SEO, TikTok ads

Pricing: Undisclosed

Notable Clients: Avène, Sunny Queen Farms, Thankyou, Mecca, Schwarzkopf

Theory Crew is one of Australia’s most established UGC and influencer marketing agencies, blending creative production, influencer matchmaking, and full-funnel performance strategy. Based in Armadale, the agency leverages a network of over 10,000 vetted Australian content creators and influencers, producing thousands of assets per year for brands across beauty, lifestyle, and FMCG sectors.

What distinguishes Theory Crew is its hybrid model: part creative studio, part PR firm, and part performance marketing agency. This allows them to manage every aspect of UGC deployment—from creator sourcing and content production to paid social amplification and conversion tracking—under one roof.

Massive Creator Database and Cross-Category Experience

With over 10,000 creators and influencers, Theory Crew is among the largest creator networks in Australia. The agency’s database includes talent across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, experienced in producing native-style UGC that aligns with paid performance best practices.

Their track record spans 24,000+ assets created and 600+ reviews generated, offering brands volume and consistency at scale.

Integrated UGC and Paid Media Framework

Unlike agencies that simply deliver UGC content, Theory Crew integrates UGC directly into performance marketing campaigns. Their team specializes in crafting and testing assets for Meta Ads, Google Ads, and TikTok Advertising—ensuring that each creative is optimized for cost efficiency and return on ad spend (ROAS).

This full-stack approach makes them ideal for brands wanting measurable outcomes, not just social engagement.

Proven Brand Campaign Results

Theory Crew’s campaigns emphasize authenticity, localized storytelling, and data-backed iteration. Their in-house creative strategy team ensures that all UGC fits seamlessly within the brand’s tone of voice and marketing funnel, whether it’s for awareness, engagement, or conversion stages.

Proof of Performance

  • Thankyou Personal Care: Theory Crew partnered with the social enterprise Thankyou to amplify awareness across personal care products. The campaign featured 392 influencer mentions, tapping into a 2.6 million cumulative follower base and driving mass visibility for the brand’s cause-driven messaging.
  • Sunny Queen Farms: To promote new products from the iconic Australian egg brand, Theory Crew launched a multi-channel campaign combining UGC, influencer collaborations, and TV integration. Featuring personalities like Jules Sebastian, Guy Turland, and Tim Robards, the campaign generated 320 influencer mentions, 22 earned media hits, and an 11 million cumulative reach, reinforcing the brand’s legacy while introducing it to younger audiences.
  • Avène Cicalfate+ (Pierre Fabre Group): For Avène’s winter skincare push, Theory Crew delivered 200 influencer mentions, 120 creator collaborations, and 371K+ content saves—a strong indicator of engagement and educational content effectiveness in the beauty vertical.

Pros

  • Extensive database of over 10,000 creators across all major social platforms
  • End-to-end management of UGC, influencer, and paid media campaigns
  • Proven track record with large consumer brands and dermo-cosmetic companies
  • Robust integration with performance marketing and PR functions
  • Expertise in Australian consumer culture and market nuances

Cons

  • Focused primarily on the Australian market (limited global reach)
  • High-volume workflow may reduce bespoke creative flexibility for niche brands
  • Requires defined campaign objectives for optimal ROI alignment

Why It Stands Out

Theory Crew distinguishes itself through scale, structure, and specialization. Its deep creator network and full-service model make it a standout choice for brands that need a constant pipeline of UGC assets optimized for performance marketing.


27. The Social Shepherd

The Social Shepherd

Best for: Mid-Market and Enterprise Brands

Year Founded: 2018

Location: Bath, United Kingdom (with offices in New York and London)

Industries Served: Beauty, Fashion, Retail, FMCG, Travel, Finance, Tech

Services: UGC production, influencer campaigns, paid social, social strategy, analytics, creative production, social listening

Pricing: Undisclosed

Notable Clients: Lumene, Premier Inn, Uniqlo, Passenger Clothing, The AA

The Social Shepherd is a full-service social media and performance marketing agency with a strong UGC and influencer division. Headquartered in Bath, UK, with a growing presence in the U.S., the agency combines content production, community management, and paid amplification under one integrated framework.

Unlike UGC-only shops, The Social Shepherd operates at the intersection of UGC creation, influencer marketing, and paid social performance, managing campaigns that deliver measurable business outcomes, not just impressions.

Its dedicated TSS Content Creator Community includes thousands of vetted UK and U.S.-based creators who produce ad-ready UGC across TikTok, Meta, and YouTube.

Integrated UGC and Paid Performance Model

The Social Shepherd excels at turning user-generated and creator-made assets into high-performing ad creatives. Their process includes briefing, creator selection, product fulfillment, and testing multiple content variants across ad sets to identify top-performing hooks, CTAs, and creative angles. This “creative + performance” loop positions them as both a production partner and growth agency.

Creator Network With Managed Workflow

The agency’s TSS Content Creator Community is a structured program that allows brands to tap into an ongoing pipeline of creators producing authentic, trend-aligned content. Creators are briefed weekly or monthly, with clear turnaround times—72 hours for reactive content and 5 days for standard deliverables—ensuring brands receive consistent, campaign-ready assets.

The Social Shepherd handles recruitment, vetting, logistics, and competitive fixed-fee payments, creating a reliable and repeatable production system for marketers.

Strategic, Multi-Niche Campaign Execution

The Social Shepherd’s influencer and UGC team brings category-specific expertise across beauty, fashion, travel, and retail. Campaigns are segmented by audience niche, ensuring brand values align with creator personas. This results in content that feels organic while still being strategically optimized for reach, engagement, and conversions.

Proof of Performance

Lumene: Micro-Influencer and UGC Campaign:

  • 250 influencers across skincare, sustainability, and lifestyle niches
  • 450+ UGC assets produced
  • 1.3 million total reach, 26.4K engagements, and 150K video views across Reels and TikTok
  • The campaign achieved strong 3.5% engagement rates and built significant brand ubiquity among UK consumers, reinforcing Lumene’s positioning as a sustainable skincare brand.

Pros

  • Deep integration of UGC, influencer, and paid social campaigns
  • Active and well-managed creator community with structured briefs
  • Proven campaign delivery across beauty, retail, and consumer goods
  • Cross-Atlantic presence (UK + US) with bilingual production capacity
  • Strong analytics, reporting, and social listening integration

Cons

  • Minimum campaign size may exclude smaller DTC brands
  • Primarily geared toward ongoing retainers rather than one-off projects
  • Creative testing cycles depend on the client’s paid media budget

Why It Stands Out

The Social Shepherd’s UGC offering is backed by one of the UK’s most comprehensive full-funnel social teams, combining the creative intuition of a production house with the analytical rigor of a paid performance agency.


28. Viral Vertical

Viral Vertical

Best for: DTC eCommerce Brands

Year Founded: 2021

Location: Lisboa, Portugal

Industries Served: Beauty, Fashion, Wellness, Consumer Tech, Lifestyle eCommerce

Services: UGC video ads, photo shoot production, creative strategy, talent casting, paid-social optimization

Pricing: Undisclosed

Notable Clients: Momenzo, Minea, Naali

Viral Vertical is a boutique UGC and creative-production agency that specializes in psychology-driven ad creative for direct-to-consumer brands. With a portfolio spanning over 200 clients, 800 ads, 2,000 photos, and 500 models, the agency focuses on high-impact social media content that converts.

Rather than positioning itself as a pure UGC studio, Viral Vertical bridges creative production and behavioral marketing—delivering assets designed to trigger emotional responses and purchase intent. Its work caters especially to Shopify and Meta advertisers that need consistent creative iterations for paid social campaigns on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.

Psychology-Led Creative Framework

Viral Vertical uses behavioral psychology principles—such as social proof, authority bias, and emotional priming—to guide each creative concept. Every UGC video and photo set is designed to evoke trust, urgency, or belonging, maximizing click-through and conversion rates. This scientific creative approach helps brands translate real customer insights into visual messaging that drives ROAS.

UGC and Product Photography at Scale

The agency’s network of over 500 models and creators allows brands to produce diverse ad variants quickly. Deliverables include short-form UGC videos, product demo reels, and lifestyle photo sets, each optimized for specific placements and aspect ratios. Their production team handles end-to-end workflows—from concept and storyboarding to editing and delivery—typically within a few weeks.

Performance-Oriented Workflow

Viral Vertical positions creative as a growth lever, not just a branding asset. They partner closely with media buyers to test variants based on data, running structured creative tests to identify the highest-performing angles.

Their approach pairs UGC authenticity with performance discipline—crucial for eCommerce brands needing fresh content every two weeks to avoid ad fatigue.

Pros

  • Specializes in psychology-driven creative for DTC conversion optimization
  • End-to-end UGC video and photo production pipeline
  • Large network of models and creators for rapid content delivery
  • Focus on data-tested creative iterations for Meta and TikTok ads
  • Scalable pricing for fast-growing eCommerce brands

Cons

  • Limited strategic or media-buying services outside creative production
  • Portfolio and case studies lack public brand identifiers
  • Primarily focused on short-form paid ads vs. long-term UGC community programs

Why It Stands Out

Viral Vertical distinguishes itself through its creative science approach—applying behavioral psychology to UGC content production for social ads. For DTC brands focused on scaling Meta and TikTok performance, it offers a streamlined way to produce large volumes of conversion-ready assets without sacrificing authenticity.

The Rise of UGC in Influencer Marketing

User-generated content has transformed from an experimental content format into one of the most powerful forces in modern influencer marketing. Brands are no longer just commissioning influencers to post endorsements; they’re building creative ecosystems where consumers, micro-creators, and everyday advocates co-create content that fuels authenticity and performance.

As social algorithms increasingly reward relatability over perfection, UGC has become the connective tissue between paid campaigns and organic engagement.

The data paints a clear picture: Audiences crave real voices and unscripted moments, while marketers are discovering that these same attributes outperform traditional, studio-produced assets in both engagement and conversion.

For influencer campaigns, this shift means that the most effective creative often comes not from celebrity partnerships but from communities who feel personally connected to the product.

Below are proof points that underscore the growing influence and measurable impact of UGC across today’s marketing landscape.

Turning UGC Into Your Brand’s Most Scalable Asset

User-generated content has evolved from a creative experiment into one of the most reliable growth levers in modern marketing. Whether it’s TikTok-native storytelling, community-driven product demos, or paid-ready UGC assets, the right agency can help you transform authentic creator voices into measurable performance.

The best partners engineer systems that link creative output to real outcomes like ROAS, engagement lift, and brand trust.

As audiences demand transparency and relatability, UGC bridges the gap between brand control and creator authenticity. By choosing an agency aligned with your goals—whether that’s speed, storytelling, or scale—you unlock a sustainable content engine that fuels both organic and paid performance.

In 2025 and beyond, brands that systemize UGC production will own the conversation, not just rent attention.
