In this episode of Add To Cart, we are joined by Dave Hack and George Brown, co founders of Creator Flow, a platform that connects brands with UGC-style Ad Creators. The founders saw a gap between those that have a need for social media ad content to be made and those with the talent, experience and availability to make it. They’ve filled their books with high quality Australian creators and are working with some pretty impressive clients - outfits like Shark Ninja, Who Gives A Crap and The Oodie. Today, Dave and George get into the detail of exactly what UGC is and how it differs from influencer content. They share wisdom from both sides of the equation - how to produce great content and the must haves when briefing for UGC. We also get their predictions on where we’re going to see most future disruption in this space. If you’re keen to try the platform, sign up here https://creatorflow.au with the code ADDTOCART and you’ll get 100 credits, courtesy of Dave and George.
