UGC Creator Vetting

The Problem No One Talks About

You decide to run a UGC campaign. You need 20 creators. Sound easy?

First five? Hours of work, but fine. You find decent portfolios, check their work, maybe do a quick call.

Next fifteen? Now you’re spending 30 minutes per creator just to figure out who’s real. You’re cross-checking growth trends on Social Blade to catch the ones with bot followers. You’re scrolling comment sections looking for engagement pods. You’re reaching out to past brands asking “wait, did this person actually deliver?”

By creator number 20, you give up and accept whoever responds.

Three weeks in, half your creators miss deadlines. One has an audience that doesn’t match your target at all. Another posted something that contradicts your brand voice. You’re scrambling. The campaign stalls.

This is where most brands fail at UGC. Not because UGC doesn’t work—it does. But because vetting is a pain no one wants to do alone.


We Handle the Vetting. You Get the Results.

We review your creator prospects so you don’t have to spend weeks in the weeds.

We review:

Portfolios & Past Work

Does their creative look & feel actually match your style?

Have they worked with brands in your category before?

Real Audiences, Not Bots

We cross-check growth patterns, engagement ratios, and comment authenticity.

Engagement pods and purchased followers are easy to spot once you know what to look for.

FTC Compliance

We verify they’re disclosing sponsorships correctly.

No surprises.

No regulatory headaches.

References

We reach out to past brands they’ve worked with.

Do they deliver on time? Do they follow the brief?

Do they actually care about getting it right?

Brand Fit

We assess whether this creator’s voice and audience align with your goals.

A technically solid creator in the wrong niche is a wasted slot.

Who This Is For

Brands running UGC for the first time.

You need to know you’re working with people who won’t disappear halfway through.

Agencies scaling UGC for clients.

You don’t have the bandwidth to vet 50 creators manually. We do.

Teams that tried UGC and it didn’t work.

Usually it’s not UGC, it’s that you vetted wrong. Let’s fix that.

Anyone tired of wasting hours on creator research.

Your time is worth more than this.

Real Example

A beauty brand needed 15 creators for a summer campaign. They had 40 candidates they’d collected from TikTok and Instagram.

The founder started vetting herself. Five hours in, she had reviewed eight creators and already found fake engagement on three of them. She was tired. She handed the rest to an intern.

We took the list of 40 and delivered a report in four days. 12 green lights (people who’d actually deliver). 18 yellow flags (worth a test if they felt right). 10 hard passes (fake followers, no brand history, compliance issues).

She went with the 12 green lights plus three of the yellows. Campaign shipped on time. Creators delivered. No missed deadlines. No brand voice mismatches.

She came back three months later asking if we could help with creator management too.

Questions?

Right now, just vetting. We filter the people. You (or we, separately) handle the rest. We’re exploring management and editing services for brands that need the full package—let us know if you’re interested.

Yes. Wellness, beauty, tech, finance, parenting, etc, we work across categories. Just let us know what you’re targeting.

We build our recommendations on data (growth patterns, engagement, compliance, references). We’ll walk you through the reasoning. If you want to try someone we flagged yellow, that’s your call. It’s your campaign.


Our Background

We’ve managed ad campaigns for brands in the UGC space for 8+ years. We’ve seen what creators actually deliver versus what their portfolios promise. We know the red flags because we’ve cleaned up the messes.

Vetting is the step everyone skips. That’s why UGC campaigns fail.

We’re making it easier to get right the first time.
