For e-commerce & DTC brands

UGC ads for e-commerce brands

Real creators and AI-avatar UGC, scripted and exported weekly, so your media buyer always has a fresh angle to test.

15 minutes. No pitch. We'll tell you straight if we can help.

Hiring for UGC ads is not the same as hiring an editor. You are paying for a steady supply of angles that keep landing after your last winning ad fatigues, your catalog adds a SKU, or the season changes overnight. A lot of agencies pitching UGC have never run creative through a real e-commerce testing cadence, and it shows in what they hand back.

What to look for when you hire a UGC ads partner

A handful of things separate a partner who can actually keep a DTC ad account fed from one that ships a batch and disappears.

  • Volume you can sustain, not a one-off batch. Ask how many scripts and exports land per week, not per project.
  • A real script and hook process behind the footage, not just a filming service. Anyone can point a camera at a creator.
  • A mix of real-creator UGC and AI-avatar UGC, so a new angle doesn't have to wait on a shoot.
  • Platform-native formatting for Meta, TikTok, and Reels, not one export stretched across three placements.
  • A way to tie creative back to cost per acquisition, not just views or likes.

How we run against that list

We build a running supply of UGC ads for e-commerce brands: concepts, scripts, hooks, real-creator shoots, and AI-avatar UGC, sized to your catalog and your testing pace. For Siluet, a direct-to-consumer Pilates reformer brand, that meant shipping more than 40 ads a week at peak while the account held a 7:1 return on ad spend. The volume only holds up because the script and hook process behind it stays disciplined, batch after batch, instead of getting looser as the ask gets bigger.

Each week runs the same way. We pull your current angles, offers, and any SKU or seasonal changes coming up. We write scripts and hooks built for native feel, not a studio spot. We shoot with real creators, generate AI-avatar UGC, or both, depending on the angle and the timeline. Then we export platform-native cuts and hand your media buyer a batch that's ready to launch.

What lands in your ad account

Every batch ships ready to launch, not raw footage you still have to finish. That means a media buyer can pull a new ad into a campaign the same day it lands instead of waiting on another round of edits.

  • A weekly batch of UGC ads, real creator and AI-avatar, scripted and exported
  • Hooks and angles built around your actual catalog, not generic templates
  • Native formatting for Meta, TikTok, and Reels
  • A creative pipeline your media buyer can test against without waiting on a shoot

Who this fits

This fits e-commerce and DTC brands actively spending on Meta or TikTok, where a media buyer is watching cost per acquisition daily and needs new creative faster than an in-house team or a single freelancer can produce it. It also fits brands adding SKUs or running seasonal drops often enough that testing volume keeps climbing instead of staying flat, and brands that have tried a cheap UGC subscription before and gotten scripts too stiff to pass as real customer content.

The production process has also been used outside ecommerce. In one 4-week B2B SaaS sprint, the best hook reached £3 cost per result and Meta leads rose 72% week over week. That separate account shows the range of the production work, not a forecast for an ecommerce brand.

A UGC ads partner should be judged on one number: whether your account ever runs out of fresh creative to test. Ours doesn't.

Most e-commerce ad accounts run out of creative before they run out of budget

Meta and TikTok punish anything that sits too long. Most DTC brands can't produce fresh angles fast enough to keep up with their own catalog.

Your best-performing ad has about two weeks left

Whatever's carrying your CAC right now starts fatiguing the moment it wins. Without a new angle queued up behind it, cost per acquisition creeps back up and the margin that ad was protecting goes with it.

Every new SKU or drop adds testing volume you can't produce

A new product, bundle, or seasonal drop means new angles to test on top of whatever's already fatiguing. Most in-house teams can barely keep pace with the catalog they already have.

UGC that looks shot for an ad stops converting like UGC

A stiff script, a forced smile, lighting that's too clean. Shoppers scroll past it in under a second because it reads as a studio ad instead of something a customer actually filmed.

You can't tell which creative is actually lowering your CAC

Ads go out, some spend gets wasted, and nobody can say for certain which hook, script, or avatar is behind the cheaper acquisition cost. Creative decisions turn into guesses instead of a clear read on what's working.

Case study · Siluet, Pilates & wellness reformer

40+ ads a week and a 7:1 return on ad spend for a DTC reformer brand

Siluet sells a Pilates reformer direct to consumer, and their Meta account was starving for new angles every time a winning ad started to fatigue. We built a UGC pipeline covering concepts, scripts, hooks, and exports, sized so their media buyer never ran out of fresh creative to launch. At peak we were shipping more than 40 ads a week, and the account held a 7:1 return on ad spend.

Case study · A B2B SaaS in a competitive vertical

The same creative volume system, proven outside e-commerce

This B2B SaaS came to us running stiff, obviously-scripted ads with nothing new ready once the current batch faded. Over a 4-week sprint we wrote UGC-style scripts, directed creators and exported a fresh batch every week. The best hook reached £3 cost per result, and Meta leads rose 72% week over week. This is a separate B2B result and does not predict an ecommerce outcome.

Perfect 5.0 rating across the board

Before working with Ben and True Frame, I was spinning my wheels. I was creating content without strategy. Ben and his team built me a system requiring minimal time from me while generating serious results. I've tracked over six figures in converted pipeline revenue from qualified leads who referenced my specific content as trust building and helpful.

We used Trueframe to create our first VSL and some shorter form video content. Before working with them, we didn't know how to script, how to shoot, or how to link video content to our CTAs. After working with them, we had figured all of that out. They're efficient, reasonably priced, and a hard working team.

What sets Ben apart is he actually tracks what matters. Not vanity metrics. We went through my entire content funnel together and he pinpointed exactly where leads were dropping off. Implemented his suggestions and saw a measurable lift in qualified inbound within weeks. Rare to find someone who thinks this systematically.

Common questions

What counts as UGC for an e-commerce brand, and do you build AI UGC too?
Real creators shooting native-feeling video with your product, plus AI-avatar UGC for angles where a real shoot isn't fast enough or doesn't need a real person. Both get scripted, hooked, and edited the same way, so the ad reads like something a customer filmed, not a studio spot.
How many ads do I actually get, and how often?
It depends on your catalog and how fast your media buyer wants to test, but most DTC accounts need three to five fresh angles a week to stay ahead of fatigue. At peak on one wellness reformer account we were shipping more than 40 ads a week. We size the batch to what your account can actually test.
My catalog is small. Can this still work?
Yes. A handful of SKUs still supports plenty of angles once you vary the hook, the offer, and the proof point behind each one. We build the angle bank around what you're actually selling instead of assuming a huge catalog.
Do you handle media buying, or just the creative?
Just the creative. We build the concepts, scripts, hooks, UGC, and exports. You or your media buyer runs the testing and the spend, so we're never guessing at your account structure or bidding strategy.
Can you prove this actually lowers CAC, not just adds views?
On a DTC wellness reformer account, the client reported a 7:1 return on ad spend at 40-plus ads a week. On a separate B2B SaaS account, the best hook reached £3 cost per result and Meta leads rose 72% week over week. Each result belongs to its own account and reporting window.
Which platforms and formats do you build for?
Mostly Meta feed and Stories, TikTok, and Instagram Reels, all vertical and captioned for sound-off viewing. We format natively for whichever platform is carrying spend instead of exporting one version everywhere.
What do you need from us to get started?
Product samples or access, a rundown of your current angles and offers, and a fast approval loop on scripts and selects. Sourcing creators, scripting, filming or generating, and exporting all run in-house on our side.
