Encourage authentic submissions with simple mechanics
Automate curation, tagging, and moderation

Incentivize sharing to amplify reach
User-generated content (UGC) contests not only create brand buzz but feed your ad engine with authentic visuals and stories. QuickAds.ai’s Creative Hub and Workflow Builder automate the heavy lifting—so you can focus on strategy.
Launch a contest inviting customers to share photos or short videos with a branded hashtag. Use QuickAds.ai’s Creative Hub to automatically pull in submissions, filter for quality, and tag entries by theme (e.g., “How I use Product X,” “My favorite recipe”).
Next, select top entries and overlay consistent branding—your logo, contest tagline, or review snippet—using QuickAds.ai’s text-on-image tools. Then run a UGC carousel ad, highlighting finalists and driving votes. Automate voting reminders with Messenger sequences built in QuickAds.ai’s Workflow Builder.
Finally, repurpose your most engaging UGC into evergreen ads. QuickAds.ai’s Dynamic Creative can mix these authentic visuals with benefit-driven headlines and CTAs—testing which entries drive the best CTR and conversions. Encourage sharing by rewarding participants whose submissions get the most engagement, amplifying organic reach.
UGC contests turn customers into co-creators—fueling your ad library with genuine stories that outperform stock photos and scripted testimonials.
