Built for brands to network with quality, authentic content creators — building more effective and engaging partnerships.
Social media is constantly changing.
But one thing remains consistent: Authentic content always outperforms content that's forced.
In 2023, user-generated and influencer content will continue to become more and more important for brands, especially in the tourism and experience niches.
When users post content about your brand, it builds credibility among that users’ followers — who are typically their friends, family, or peers. According to Hootsuite, 60% of marketers agree that authenticity and quality are equally important elements of successful content. And there’s no other content type that’s more authentic than UGC from your customers.
When implemented, paid user-generated content for your brand can:
- Establish destination loyalty
- Build community among your brand
- Increase conversions
- Influence purchase decisions
- Act as online word-of-mouth marketing
- Meet other defined business or organization goals
The Hello Social Co. Creator Network connects brands with high-quality and authentic content creators.
These creators can visit your destination, and help create some serious FOMO (fear of missing out) to their social media followers. Most importantly, they can show off your destination or experience opportunity to an entirely new audience, expanding your reach and helping you meet organization goals.
