AI UGC Ads for DTC Brands

Traditional UGC is expensive and slow. Sourcing creators requires high upfront fees, turnaround times are slow, and you often need multiple variations to find a winning creative. For DTC brands testing multiple products and angles, this adds up fast.

Performance Testing: In a split-test conducted for a client Shopify store, we deployed video scripts generated with this blueprint alongside traditional static ad assets. The AI UGC video assets showed improved click-through rates and successfully reduced the Cost Per Acquisition (CPA).

How AI UGC Changes the Game

With AI UGC, you upload a product photo and get a complete ad pack in minutes: hooks, scripts, captions, static ads, and AI influencer product photos. You can test multiple different angles in the time it takes to brief one creator.
