UGC Sourcing Agent
Discovers, rights-clears, and organizes authentic customer photos, videos, and reviews from social platforms for use in campaigns and product pages.
Brands know user-generated content converts better than polished creative, but finding it means manually searching hashtags, tags, and mentions across platforms, which is slow and inconsistent
Once promising content is found, securing usage rights requires individually messaging creators, tracking their responses, and storing permission records in a way that survives an audit or legal request
Content quality varies enormously, and sorting genuinely usable, on-brand UGC from low-resolution or off-message posts consumes hours that marketers don't have
Organizing rights-cleared content so it's actually discoverable and reusable by campaign, product line, or channel is a persistent operational gap, leading teams to re-request rights for content they already cleared months earlier
The agent continuously monitors branded hashtags, tags, and mentions across social platforms to surface candidate UGC, then scores each piece for image quality, brand relevance, and sentiment. For promising content, it sends rights-request messages to creators, tracks response status, and stores signed permissions with expiration terms in a centralized rights ledger. Cleared assets are tagged by product, campaign, and channel and pushed into the digital asset management system, ready for reuse across paid, organic, and product-page placements.
