What is UGC?

UGC (user-generated content) is content such as reviews, photos and videos created by customers rather than the brand.

User Generated Content · Marketing Glossary · Updated

UGC is often seen as more believable than ads made by the brand, so it has a big influence on purchase decisions. It is grown through review prompts, hashtag events and permission to repost.

When reusing customer content on brand channels, you must get the creator's permission, and clinics face Medical Service Act restrictions on using patient reviews.
