The Ultimate Guide to UGC

You know influencer marketing is the move to grow awareness for your brand.

But just because an influencer is creative and good at filming videos doesn't mean they'll deliver content that converts.

Here’s how to give clear guidance.

The general structure of the content brief:

  • Content Goal: Define what you want the content to achieve.
  • Target Audience: Educate your partner on your target audience.
  • Content Type: Specify the type of content you're looking for, such as:
    • Product demo
    • Testimonial
    • Unboxing video
    • Before-and-after showcase
  • Campaign Overview: Provide a detailed outline of the key points you want the influencer to cover.
  • Sample Content: To help the influencer understand your vision, include sample content that shows the style, tone, and format you prefer.

Tailor your partnerships and creative briefs to specific stages of awareness.

This way, you'll have a diverse batch of content that addresses the needs and interests of your audience at every touchpoint.

Let's explore a few examples of content briefs based on the awareness stage.
