Overview

A good UGC video for Instagram organic is not always a good Meta ad. Ads have to win the first three seconds against everything else in the feed, work with the sound off, and give your media buyer enough versions to test. We plan, shoot and edit UGC with those rules from the start.

Guide

How Meta UGC ads are different

On Facebook and Instagram, people decide in about a second whether to keep watching. That is why we treat the hook as its own piece of work: the opening line, the first visual and the on-screen text are written and shot in several versions, so the ad can be tested and improved instead of guessed.

Built for every placement

  • Reels and Stories: full-screen 9:16 with key text kept inside the safe zones

  • Feed: 4:5 cuts that take up more of the screen on mobile

  • Right column and in-stream: 1:1 and 16:9 versions when needed

  • Captions burned in for sound-off viewing, with clean versions on request

What makes a UGC ad perform on Meta

  • A hook that shows the product, the problem or the payoff in the first frame

  • A creator your buyer trusts, matched by age, city and language

  • One clear reason to buy, proven on screen rather than claimed

  • A natural, phone-shot feel with good light and clear audio

  • A simple call to action that matches your landing page

Examples of our UGC ads

Testing and creative refresh

Ad fatigue is real on Meta. Even strong ads lose steam as the same people see them again and again. We deliver hook and opening variants with every concept, so you can test quickly, keep the winners running and refresh creatives before results drop. See how this looks in practice in our Acko Health explainer ads and Urban Jungle story-led ad case studies.

FAQs

What length works best for UGC ads on Meta?

Most of our ads run between 15 and 45 seconds. The right length depends on how much explaining the product needs; the hook always lands in the first three seconds.

Do I need different videos for Facebook and Instagram?

Usually not. One concept cut into 9:16, 4:5 and 1:1 covers Reels, Stories and Feed on both platforms.

Can you use creators’ handles for partnership ads?

Yes, partnership (whitelisted) ads can be arranged with creators when it suits the campaign, agreed before the shoot.

Do you provide the raw footage?

Edited ads are the standard delivery. Raw footage can be shared if agreed in advance.
