SCOPE
01 / WHAT'S INSIDE

What you get when you sign on.

AI buyers under 40 don't go to your landing page first. They watch a creator describe what your product does, see it on autopilot in a feed, then decide whether to click through. UGC is the top of the modern funnel. We run it for you with creators who can actually demo software.

SOURCING

Creators who can demo software

Most UGC agencies pull from generic creator pools. We filter for people who've built or shipped products themselves — they know how to demo a SaaS interface without making it look like a sponsored ad.

BRIEFING

Hooks built for AI-skeptical audiences

AI buyers are skeptical and meme-fatigued. We brief creators on the contrarian hooks that work in 2026 ("my non-AI app", "vibecoded a SaaS", honest failure framing), not the SaaS-bro tropes that get scrolled past.

APPROVAL

You see every script before it ships

Scripts and storyboards are sent to you for approval before any creator shoots. No surprise content live on TikTok with your product name attached.

DEPLOYMENT

Multi-platform per creator

Same creator, three cuts: TikTok native, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts. Different captions, different thumbnails, optimized per surface. One creator brief drives ~3x the surface area.

MEASUREMENT

Earned media value attached

Each piece gets an EMV (earned media value) estimate using platform CPMs and content-type multipliers. Reported alongside views, sends, and saves. The number that goes in your investor update.

RIGHTS

Usage rights for your ads

Standard package includes 60-day paid usage rights so your best-performing creator content can be rerun as a paid ad on Meta / TikTok with a tiny budget for a much higher ROAS.

FRAME
02 / WHY IT WORKS

Why this channel compounds.

01

AI buyers research on feeds first.

TikTok and Instagram search now beat Google for many SaaS discovery queries among under-30 buyers. If you're not on those feeds, you're invisible to a whole demographic.

02

Creators outperform paid ads on trust.

A creator demoing a product reads as a recommendation. A paid ad reads as a paid ad. The conversion delta on trust-led content is multiples, not percentages.

03

AI-savvy creators are cheap right now.

The supply of creators comfortable demoing AI products outstrips the brand demand. Rates are still pre-arbitrage. This won't last as more AI brands wake up to UGC.

04

Algorithmic discovery beats SEO speed.

A TikTok hits feeds in hours, not months. You can test 6 angles in a week. SEO can't compete with that velocity for early-stage discovery.

PROCESS
03 / HOW IT RUNS

How an engagement runs.

WEEK 1

Audience + creator brief

We map your AI buyer to creator personas. Brief gets written: hooks, tone, demo flow, on-screen text, CTA. You approve before any outreach.

WEEK 2

Sourcing + shoot

Sourcing from our vetted pool. Scripts sent to you. Shoot happens. Three platform cuts per creator. First content delivered for approval.

WEEK 3

Deploy + watch the data

Approved content goes live. We monitor first-72-hour performance (views, watch time, saves, sends). Anything underperforming gets re-cut or re-captioned.

MONTH 2+

Iterate + recycle to paid

Winners get fed into paid ads (rights are pre-cleared). Underperformers get replaced. The brief evolves based on what's actually landing.

FIT
04 / WHO IT'S FOR

Built for.

  • AI products with a visible interface (dev tools, productivity SaaS, B2B AI apps).
  • Founders who care about being visible on feeds where their buyer scrolls.
  • Teams ready to commit to at least a 3-month cadence (one-off UGC is a waste of budget).
  • Products with a working demo that a creator can show on screen without explanation.
QUESTIONS
05 / FAQ

Quick answers.

How many creators do we get per month?+

Depends on stage. Pre-seed engagements usually 3–5 creators a month with multi-platform cuts. Series A+ tends toward 8–12. We don't run cookie-cutter packages.

What if a creator doesn't perform?+

We swap them out. Most creators we vet land in the average band on first try; outliers (both directions) emerge after the first piece. We don't pay for second creator briefs from your budget if the first one underperformed because of our sourcing call.

Do we own the content?+

Standard package includes 60-day paid usage rights so you can rerun winners as paid ads on Meta / TikTok. Perpetual rights cost extra; most clients don't need them.

Can creators show our SaaS interface on screen?+

Yes — that's specifically what we source for. Most UGC agencies pull from creators who can hold a physical product; we pull from creators who can navigate a SaaS dashboard on camera.

What does it cost?+

Scoped to volume. The intro call covers stage, persona, and cadence so we can quote against your real numbers.

Is this just TikTok or also Instagram and YouTube?+

All three by default. Each piece gets cut for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Different captions per platform. You can drop one if it's truly not your audience but most clients keep all three.
