Writer's picture: Team Liberal ArtsTeam Liberal Arts

User-generated content (UGC) has completely changed how brands interact with their audience in today's digital environment. UGC, which includes testimonials, reviews, social media posts etc., is crucial in influencing how people perceive a business and creating a feeling of community. Liberal Arts Productions, a company that specializes in brand films, is aware of the crucial role that user-generated content (UGC) plays in producing engaging and realistic stories. Here we will discuss the idea of user-generated material in the context of brand films, as well as how Liberal Arts Productions uses audience engagement to strengthen brand messaging and foster trust.



  • Understanding User-Generated Content and Its Significance: Any type of content produced by customers or other users of a brand, as opposed to the brand itself, is referred to as user-generated content. It might appear in the form of endorsements, critiques, posts on social media, videos and more. The fact that this kind of material is produced by actual individuals who have firsthand knowledge of the brand and have engaged with it makes it extremely valuable. As a result, UGC gives the brand message a layer of authenticity and trustworthiness that connects well with today's consumers who are looking for real relationships.

  • Harnessing the Power of Audience Participation in Brand Films: At Liberal Arts Productions, we understand that participation from the audience can significantly improve the storytelling experience. By including our audience in the creative process, we foster an atmosphere of inclusivity and ownership that makes customers feel like an essential part of the brand's journey. We invite the audience to share their thoughts, experiences and stories, which we then use as inspiration for our brand videos. This strategy encourages a stronger emotional bond with the audience in addition to adding authenticity.

  • Cultivating a Community through UGC Campaigns: Utilizing targeted campaigns that promote audience engagement is one of the most efficient methods to capitalize on the power of UGC. To actively engage audiences, Liberal Arts Productions helps brands launch events, contests and social media campaigns. These campaigns give the audience a forum to express their originality, viewpoints and unique experiences in relation to the brand. We encourage the audience to submit UGC that is consistent with the brand's values and speaks to their own experiences by establishing clear criteria and providing rewards.

  • Testimonials in Brand Films: Testimonials are a particularly potent type of user-generated content (UGC), as they present the real experiences and viewpoints of customers. We are aware of the importance of testimonials in establishing credibility and trust. When making brand films, we work together with our clients to find consumers with interesting tales to tell. We obtain genuine testimonies that perfectly fit into our brand films by using meticulous interviewing procedures and imaginative editing. We develop storylines that appeal with viewers and build brand trust by amplifying the voice of the customer.

  • Balancing Authenticity and Brand Messaging: While user-generated content (UGC) adds authenticity and a unique viewpoint to brand films, it's important to maintain a balance with the overall brand messaging. At Liberal Arts Productions, we collaborate closely with our clients to make sure that UGC reflects the goals, tone and values of the brand. We ensure that user-generated content represents the authenticity of real experiences while supporting the brand's central narrative through careful curation and selection.


User-generated material is a potent way to captivate people and promote a sense of belonging. In order to produce engaging and real brand films, Liberal Arts Productions harnesses the inherent potential of UGC. We produce engaging storytelling experiences that connect with viewers and build brand trust by actively including our audience in the creative process, collecting testimonials and finding the right balance between authenticity and marketing messaging. UGC becomes a priceless tool for influencing consumer opinion of a business, creating enduring connections and making a lasting impression.

Your production may need multiple cameras, waterproof or high speed/low speed cameras, microphones and sound mixing gear, special lighting, special effects, etc. Also you can’t forget about allotted time for editing and if there will be any animation, CGI (Computer Generated Images), text effects, or multi-cam editing. These things can add up some extra time and some extra from your pocket if not properly planned and budgeted.
