UGC AD FORMAT

The UGC ad format: shape, length and structure

The UGC ad format is a short vertical video with a personal tone: framed for a phone screen, captioned, opening with a hook and built around one product story. Length varies, but most run well under a minute. AIUGCAdGenerator delivers that format in every campaign: three finished UGC-style video ads, each a vertical 9:16 MP4 of about 15 to 30 seconds.

Three ads. One product story.

Delivered in 24 to 72 hours after your campaign request is accepted. Ad spend and publishing stay with you.

What the UGC ad format is

The UGC ad format combines a shape (vertical, for phones), a length (short), a tone (personal and plain-spoken) and a structure (hook, moment, product, reason to care, call to action). Each of those can be varied, but changing too many at once makes an ad look like a regular commercial.

Format is not authorship. A UGC-format ad does not have to be made by a customer, and it must never claim to be when it is not.

Format choices that matter

Vertical framing. A 9:16 frame fills a phone screen. Check the current specifications wherever you publish before you upload.

Captions. Many viewers scroll with the sound off, so captions carry the story.

Pacing. UGC ads move quickly from hook to product. Every second should earn the next.

One story per ad. The format rewards focus. Save other benefits for other versions.
