USER-GENERATED
CONTENT:
DO YOU REALLY
NEED IT?

WHAT IS
USER-
GENERATED
CONTENT (UGC)?
Content created by member(s) of the
public, instead of a publisher, journalist,
or brand. In most circumstances, UGC
is created for personal use, intended for
an audience of friends and family…
Basically, what you publish on social
media platforms like Instagram,
Facebook, Vine, Twitter, forums, and
wikis. It may take the form of a
restaurant review, photo, blog post,
status update, or Snapchat lens.
WHY DO BRANDS USE UGC?
Some companies, like Target, Chobani and
Nissan, have successfully capitalized on
UGC behavior by asking their audience to
create branded content in the form of photo
competitions, reviews, TV ads, or Snapchat
stories. The most famous example is
arguably Tourism Queensland’s “Best Job
in the world” promotion in 2009 that
received over 30,000 entries from 201
countries.
Others, however, faced reputation damage
from UGC initiatives that backfired. Many
companies have invested in UGC
campaigns that did not drive participation
nor achieve business-related KPIs.

WHY DO BRANDS USE UGC?
• To Build Trust: UGC could be
described as online word-of-
mouth, one of the most
trustworthy sources of
information. Research by
Crowdtap and Ipsos1 finds that
Millennials trust UGC over
professional content, resulting in
significant influence over
purchase decisions.
Source: 1 Ipsos MediaCT 2014, 2CustomerThink 2016
86% look to UGC as an indicator of
product or service quality2
65% consider UGC more honest &
valuable than traditional media2
WHY DO BRANDS USE UGC?
• More Engaging: Millennials spend
five hours per day with UGC
created and curated by their peers
or the trusted sources they follow
on social networks.1
• Creates Loyalty: when consumers
create UGC on behalf of a brand it
is a public reinforcement of love
for that brand; when brands
respond to UGC the reinforcement
may turn brand love into brand
advocacy or even tattoos… the
ultimate form of advocacy!

SUCCESSFUL UGC CASE STUDY: WARBY PARKER
Customers are encouraged to
share pics of their glasses using
#WarbyHomeTryOn to receive
feedback on which pair they should
purchase from friends and the
Warby Parker community.
The initiative ties into the selfie
trend and consumer desire for
feedback. Hundreds of consumers
have submitted pics because of
the low barrier to entry. In doing so,
they show public endorsement of
Warby Parker.
c
• No One Really Cares: Harsh but true. Many UGC campaigns
lack participation because consumers are busy and the request
is too much of a time/effort commitment. Many brands don’t
understand the value exchange required for effective UGC.
• Reputation Damage: UGC means a brand surrenders control to
consumers. If the campaign is not well-received it can result in
public criticism, negative press, or even a hijacked campaign.
• No Longer A Novelty: early UGC competitions and campaigns
garnered a lot of attention because of the novelty factor, but now
they have become another standard marketing tool.

CHALLENGES
OF UGC
FOR A
BRAND
Google Trends shows UGC was most popular between 2007-2009.
Other tactics, like influencer marketing, are now more popular.
UGC CASE STUDY: COSTA COFFEE
UK coffee brand, Costa Coffee,
launched a 2015 social media
campaign #ComeOutAndPlay to
encourage fans to enjoy the sunshine.
Followers could enter their photo
featuring a Costa Ice beverage via the
website, Twitter, or Instagram.
The social hub for the campaign
consists of a combination of
professional brand photos and UGC
because entries were minimal and the
quality of some UGC was likely not
satisfactory for the branded social
hub.
UGC CASE STUDY: NYPD
In 2014 New York residents were
asked to tweet pics and
experiences of themselves
interacting with the NYPD.
Users responded en-masse with
negative posts, accusing NYPD of
police brutality and violence. The
initiative did not acknowledge the
cultural context and public
attitudes towards NYPD at the time.
The hashtag is still used today to
share UGC about police brutality.

TO UGC OR NOT TO UGC?
The investment in UGC campaigns is often not worth the return. Weigh up the pros and cons, and be
realistic by asking “would I personally want to participate?” If proceeding:
• Create a worthy value exchange or incentive. Be realistic about volume of participation because the
90:9:1 rule of participation inequality (see triangle) often applies.
• Functionality must be quick and easy. The lower the barrier to entry, the more participants.
• Incorporate or leverage existing social media user behaviors, like Snapchat lenses.
• Understand the wider context the brand is operating in, and plan for potential issues.
• Try collaborating with a selection of influencers or customers, instead of everyone.
• Moderate entries, if possible, to avoid association with inappropriate content.
• Seek explicit consent if you plan to repurpose content.
• Be transparent and authentic to brand values.

User-Generated Content: Do You Really Need It?

  • 1. USER-GENERATED CONTENT: DO YOU REALLY NEED IT? by David Yankelewitz, Group Creative Director and Hannah Law, VP Regional Strategy Director Photo: http://www.kurtzgraphics.com/branding/
  • 2. c WHAT IS USER- GENERATED CONTENT (UGC)? Content created by member(s) of the public, instead of a publisher, journalist, or brand. In most circumstances, UGC is created for personal use, intended for an audience of friends and family… Basically, what you publish on social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Vine, Twitter, forums, and wikis. It may take the form of a restaurant review, photo, blog post, status update, or Snapchat lens.
  • 3. WHY DO BRANDS USE UGC? Some companies, like Target, Chobani and Nissan, have successfully capitalized on UGC behavior by asking their audience to create branded content in the form of photo competitions, reviews, TV ads, or Snapchat stories. The most famous example is arguably Tourism Queensland’s “Best Job in the world” promotion in 2009 that received over 30,000 entries from 201 countries. Others, however, faced reputation damage from UGC initiatives that backfired. Many companies have invested in UGC campaigns that did not drive participation nor achieve business-related KPIs.

  • 4. WHY DO BRANDS USE UGC? • To Build Trust: UGC could be described as online word-of- mouth, one of the most trustworthy sources of information. Research by Crowdtap and Ipsos1 finds that Millennials trust UGC over professional content, resulting in significant influence over purchase decisions. Source: 1 Ipsos MediaCT 2014, 2CustomerThink 2016 86% look to UGC as an indicator of product or service quality2 65% consider UGC more honest & valuable than traditional media2
  • 5. WHY DO BRANDS USE UGC? • More Engaging: Millennials spend five hours per day with UGC created and curated by their peers or the trusted sources they follow on social networks.1 • Creates Loyalty: when consumers create UGC on behalf of a brand it is a public reinforcement of love for that brand; when brands respond to UGC the reinforcement may turn brand love into brand advocacy or even tattoos… the ultimate form of advocacy!

  • 6. SUCCESSFUL UGC CASE STUDY: WARBY PARKER Customers are encouraged to share pics of their glasses using #WarbyHomeTryOn to receive feedback on which pair they should purchase from friends and the Warby Parker community. The initiative ties into the selfie trend and consumer desire for feedback. Hundreds of consumers have submitted pics because of the low barrier to entry. In doing so, they show public endorsement of Warby Parker.
  • 7. c • No One Really Cares: Harsh but true. Many UGC campaigns lack participation because consumers are busy and the request is too much of a time/effort commitment. Many brands don’t understand the value exchange required for effective UGC. • Reputation Damage: UGC means a brand surrenders control to consumers. If the campaign is not well-received it can result in public criticism, negative press, or even a hijacked campaign. • No Longer A Novelty: early UGC competitions and campaigns garnered a lot of attention because of the novelty factor, but now they have become another standard marketing tool. CHALLENGES OF UGC FOR A BRAND
  • 8. c CHALLENGES OF UGC FOR A BRAND Google Trends shows UGC was most popular between 2007-2009. Other tactics, like influencer marketing, are now more popular.
  • 9. UGC CASE STUDY: COSTA COFFEE UK coffee brand, Costa Coffee, launched a 2015 social media campaign #ComeOutAndPlay to encourage fans to enjoy the sunshine. Followers could enter their photo featuring a Costa Ice beverage via the website, Twitter, or Instagram. The social hub for the campaign consists of a combination of professional brand photos and UGC because entries were minimal and the quality of some UGC was likely not satisfactory for the branded social hub.
  • 10. UGC CASE STUDY: NYPD In 2014 New York residents were asked to tweet pics and experiences of themselves interacting with the NYPD. Users responded en-masse with negative posts, accusing NYPD of police brutality and violence. The initiative did not acknowledge the cultural context and public attitudes towards NYPD at the time. The hashtag is still used today to share UGC about police brutality.
  • 11. 90% lurkers 9% intermittent contributors TO UGC OR NOT TO UGC? The investment in UGC campaigns is often not worth the return. Weigh up the pros and cons, and be realistic by asking “would I personally want to participate?” If proceeding: • Create a worthy value exchange or incentive. Be realistic about volume of participation because the 90:9:1 rule of participation inequality (see triangle) often applies. • Functionality must be quick and easy. The lower the barrier to entry, the more participants. • Incorporate or leverage existing social media user behaviors, like Snapchat lenses. • Understand the wider context the brand is operating in, and plan for potential issues. • Try collaborating with a selection of influencers or customers, instead of everyone. • Moderate entries, if possible, to avoid association with inappropriate content. • Seek explicit consent if you plan to repurpose content. • Be transparent and authentic to brand values. 1% heavy contributors
