Defeat the challenges of UGC

User-generated content has equipped brands with an infinite pool of videos and images to share with their audience. But, there’s a lot to think about when it comes to building a user-generated content strategy and making sure you’re not stepping on any legal toes is just the tip of the iceberg. 

A simple search on Instagram is all it takes to pull up millions of photos and some of them are good enough that brands want to use them. The combination of different educational resources available to help improve your images has led to this renaissance of photography that many of us could never have predicted, according to the Vice President of Marketing at CrowdRiff, Amrita Gurney.

With a software platform like CrowdRiff, you can find UGC images that you can license and reuse for other purposes, helping your brand to promote authenticity, build trust and drive purchasing decisions.
