tiktok ugc that gets tested, not admired

30 minutes, free. a written 30 day plan whether or not we work together.

TikTok UGC is creator-style video advertising: real people showing your app the way a friend would, run as paid ads and tested in volume. It is the channel that did the most work on ZuAI. I run the briefs, the creators, the hooks and the weekly kill-or-scale loop.

what you get

what tiktok ugc includes

briefs that produce hooks

every brief has five hook angles and one clear demo moment. creators get a script skeleton, not a mood board.

creators sourced and managed

a bench of creators who can do app demos. paid per video, on a rolling schedule.

the testing loop

batches of 20 to 40 creatives, tiktok spark and standard placements, read on hook rate, install rate and cac.

winners cut into variations

a winning hook gets ten versions before it fatigues. that is where the volume comes from.

for

faq

tiktok ugc questions

is ugc the same as influencer marketing?

no. influencers post to their audience. ugc is a video you own and run as an ad to whoever you target. it is cheaper, repeatable and measurable.

how many creatives does it take?

more than most founders expect. on zuai it is 150+ a month. a fair first month is 40, so the winners have somewhere to come from.

do you do the creative yourself?

i write briefs, direct and edit. creators shoot. for static and hook cuts i work with editors. you never manage any of them.
