UGC Ads, or User Generated Content Ads, are a type of video advertisement that you will typically find on social media. These video advertisements prioritize personality and relatability over production quality. Oftentimes, UGC Ads will be hard to distinguish from a normal social media post, the main difference being that UGC ads are trying to sell you a product/service or are trying to get you to take an action.
