What Is User-Generated Content?
User-generated content is photo and video made by everyday creators and customers rather than by a brand or a studio. In Australian marketing it almost always means content a brand commissions from a UGC content creator, licenses, and then runs as its own: on product pages, in paid social, and across owned channels. The creator makes it. The brand owns the right to use it.
That is the line between UGC content and influencer marketing. A UGC creator is booked for the asset, so the price follows the deliverable and audience size never enters it. An influencer is booked for reach. Many brands run both, and the same creator often does both jobs, though the two are priced on completely different logic.

Yours to keep
Two Ways to Work
Two ways to receive the content: licensed files only, or a creator post plus full licensing rights.
Content Licensing Only
Creators produce photos or videos and hand the files directly to the brand for use across owned channels and approved marketing activity.
Hybrid Approach
Creators publish the content to their audience while simultaneously granting the brand full licensing rights to repurpose those exact assets for paid media and owned channels.
What UGC Costs in Australia
UGC is priced per delivered asset rather than per follower, with usage rights and raw footage costed on top when needed. Australia Experiences scopes each campaign rather than selling a subscription, so the quote reflects the number of creators, the deliverables per creator, and how long the brand needs the rights for. For what brands are typically quoted across the market, see our guide to UGC creator rates in Australia.
Three things move the number: how many assets are needed in one run, whether creators also post to their own audience, and the licence term and channels. A first shortlist of matched Australian creators typically lands within 3 to 7 business days of the brief being signed off. See how content licensing is priced.

Jonathan Oakes Head of Marketing, BIG Live Frequently Asked Questions
What is a UGC agency, and how is it different from a UGC platform?
A UGC agency has the content made for a brand to own and run itself. It sources the creators, writes the briefs, coordinates the shoot, and hands over licensed photo and video shot by the creators on their own equipment for the brand's paid ads, product pages, and owned channels. In most cases the creator never posts it to their own audience. A UGC platform is self-serve software: it gives you a creator pool and a workflow, then leaves briefing, creator selection, and quality control with your team. The deliverable ends up similar. The difference is whose calendar the work lands on. Australia Experiences runs the managed route as a UGC agency in Australia, and our comparison of Australian UGC platforms covers the self-serve options.
Should I use a platform, an agency, or search manually?
Manual search is free but slow and hard to vet at scale. A creator platform speeds up discovery and gives you data, but you still run the campaign. An agency costs more but handles sourcing, vetting, briefing, and reporting for you, and brings existing creator relationships. Choose based on your time, budget, and how many campaigns you plan to run. See our services.
How much does a UGC creator or UGC video cost?
UGC is usually priced per video or per content package rather than by audience size, because you are buying the content, not the creator's reach. Costs depend on the format, length, number of variations, and whether you need usage rights for paid ads. It is often more cost-effective than a full influencer campaign when your goal is content for your own channels. See UGC services.
What content formats do UGC creators deliver?
Photos and video, from raw, unedited footage for your in-house team to cut, to fully edited vertical videos ready to publish.
Can we reuse creator content in our ads and on our website?
Only if your agreement grants those usage rights. Posting to the creator's own feed is not the same as the right to run their content in your paid ads or on your site. If you want to reuse it, negotiate usage rights (and paid amplification or whitelisting if you will boost it) before the campaign, and put the scope and duration in writing. See content licensing.
How long should content usage rights last?
It depends on how you plan to use the content. A short campaign might only need a few months, while content you want to run as paid ads or evergreen assets may need a year or more. Longer and broader rights usually cost more, so match the term to your actual plans rather than over-buying. Agree it up front in the contract. See content licensing.
How long does it take to launch a campaign?
A standard campaign runs 3 to 6 weeks from kickoff to content going live, leaving time for vetting, coordination, and quality production. For urgent activations, we can often launch within two weeks.

Keep every channel stocked with fresh, licensed creator content, without the production overhead.
