UGC Script Generator
Give creators a brief and a script by format, from unboxing to problem and solution, that leaves room for their own words.
Pick the format
| Format | Suits | Beats |
|---|---|---|
| Problem and solution | Products that fix a clear frustration | Problem, discovery, demo, result |
| Unboxing | Giftable or well-packaged products | Opening it, first look, trying it, first impression |
| Honest review | Considered purchases | What I like, what to know, verdict |
| Day in my life | Everyday products | Where it fits into a routine |
| Before and after | Visible results, shown as they are | Before, using it, after |
| 3 reasons why | Products with several strong features | Three reasons, then the call to action |
Why the script leaves gaps
UGC works because it sounds like a real person. The brief fixes the structure, product facts and shots, but opinions and results are written as prompts, like [In your own words: what did you notice first?], for the creator to answer honestly.
That's also what the FTC expects. Its guidance says pre-written posts aren't wrong in themselves, but endorsements must reflect the endorser's truthful experience and opinions. Someone who has tried a product once can't suggest they use it regularly.
Disclosure
- Brand's ads only: the video runs from your ad account. The brief reminds the creator to disclose if they post it themselves.
- Creator's account too: the script puts the disclosure in the first seconds, said out loud and shown on screen, as the FTC recommends for video.
- Clear words: “#ad”, “Ad”, “Sponsored”. Not clear: “#sp”, “#spon”, “#collab”, or “thanks” and “ambassador” on their own.

Questions people ask
What is a UGC script?
A short outline a creator follows when filming a video about your product: the hook, the beats, what to show and the call to action. Good ones leave space for the creator's own words.
Should creators follow the script word for word?
No. Keep the hook and the product facts, but opinions and results should be the creator's own. Scripted opinions sound fake, and if they aren't true they're misleading.
Do UGC videos need #ad?
If the creator posts on their own account and you paid them or sent free product, yes: the FTC expects a clear disclosure in the video itself. If it runs only as your ad, make sure nothing suggests the creator is an unpaid, independent customer.
Can I ask creators to say they love the product?
Only if they do. You can ask them to cover specific features, but the opinion has to be theirs.
How do I find creators?
Write the first message with the influencer outreach generator. For ads you film yourself, try the TikTok ad script generator.
