UGC stands for User Generated Content. In marketing, the term often describes creator assets that feel authentic, native, and less like classic advertising.

## Use cases

UGC can appear organically on creator channels, be used on brand channels, or run as paid ads.

It is especially strong when it demonstrates product benefits, answers objections, or shows real usage situations.

## Rights and quality

Before use, brands should define usage rights, runtime, channels, editing rights, and whitelisting.

Good UGC feels natural, but still needs a clear goal, clean briefing, and quality control.
