Choosing a UGC agency in Australia can feel like solving a puzzle. Just when you think you’ve found the perfect agency, three more options appear, or you start reconsidering those freelancers you saw on TikTok.
At Alteraction, we have experience creating UGC for brands around the globe, and we know exactly what factors you should consider when making your decision. Sometimes, it’s not about the portfolio or the price but rather other hidden factors you might not have thought of.
Let’s uncover them.
1. Make Sure They’ve Created UGC for Different Marketing Goals
The UGC agency you choose should be experienced in creating content aimed at generating reach or brand awareness, followers, leads, and ecommerce sales.
What’s the advantage of working with a UGC agency that handles these brand goals daily? Simply put, they’ll know how to select the right creator, script, format, and content style to achieve each objective.
👇 An example of how we do it at Alteraction👇
Imagine a brand asks us for multiple assets for a sales-driven campaign. Since we know they’ll be launching the various creatives on META or TikTok—platforms that require a wide range of content variations for AI testing—we deliver UGC with those variations already built in.
For instance, a single piece of content might be delivered as five different videos, each with changes to the hook, final CTA, video length, supporting imagery, and how the product or service is introduced.
✅ How to quickly check if a UGC agency in Australia meets this basic rule: See if they have a marketing strategist, someone who speaks the same language as your brand manager or CMO. if the team is solely made up of Community or Social Media Managers, they might not fully understand the broad range of approaches brands need to stand out digitally.
2. Choose a UGC Agency That Wants to Grow With You, Not Just Sell You UGC
Automatically rule out platforms that connect you with freelance UGC creators. These platforms often sell UGC packages without any strategy and don’t provide legal protection for you or the creators who will represent your brand.
If you want low-cost UGC, your results will likely reflect that. It takes care, time, and resources to create content that truly resonates with your audience and delivers the results you need.
At Alteraction, we never start working without having one or more meetings with our clients. We also don’t require a minimum number of UGC pieces because we understand that sometimes the results aren’t what you expected, and you have every right to look for another partner.
That’s why you choose whether to start with one UGC or ten. Naturally, we reward your loyalty by offering lower prices as we continue creating content for your brand.
3. Choose an International UGC Agency
That’s Alteraction. We were born in Barcelona 🫶 and now have a team in London. We also work with brands from the US, Canada, UK, Italy, and France (as well as Spain) that trust us to create their UGC.
