The Marketing Problem
See how marketing teams like yours scale content creation and drive growth with an innovative text to AI video platform.
The Marketing Content Crunch
Your best-performing ads are UGC-style videos that convert 3–5× better than polished brand ads, but scaling them is slow and expensive. Managing multiple creators, negotiating usage rights, waiting for deliverables, and paying $200–$500 per video quickly adds up. Creators miss deadlines, quality varies, and usage rights expire, while you still need dozens of ad variations to find what works. Testing new angles takes weeks of briefing and revisions, slowing your ability to compete. Your creative testing velocity can’t keep up with your growth goals.

Have questions? We have answers
What are UGC video ads?
UGC video ads are user-generated content style advertisements that mimic organic social media posts. They feature real people (or realistic avatars) sharing authentic experiences, reviews, or demonstrations. UGC ads outperform traditional polished advertisements because they feel native to social platforms, don't trigger ad blindness, and leverage social proof psychology.
HeyGen's AI ad creator generates UGC-style videos using AI avatars that deliver authentic, creator-like presentation without hiring actual creators.
How do I create marketing videos without a production team?
AI-generated UGC ads often perform as well as or better than creator-made content due to faster iteration, consistent quality, and unlimited testing. Many brands use AI UGC for rapid testing and scaling, then deploy creator content for hero campaigns or product launch videos.
Do UGC ads work for my industry?
UGC video ads perform across industries: e-commerce, DTC, SaaS, mobile apps, supplements, beauty, fashion, fitness, food and beverage, financial services, and B2C services. Any brand targeting consumers on social platforms benefits from authentic, creator-style content.
B2B brands use modified UGC approach with professional presenters in business contexts. Same authentic delivery, different setting and tone.
What makes a high-performing UGC ad?
Winning UGC ads include: strong hook in first 3 seconds, clear problem identification, relatable presenter, authentic delivery style, visual product demonstration, social proof elements, direct CTA, mobile-optimized vertical format, and captions for sound-off viewing.
HeyGen's AI script generator incorporates these elements. Or write custom scripts using proven frameworks
Can I create UGC-style content with HeyGen?
Create your compliance training video once in your primary language. Then use HeyGen's translation feature to generate versions in any of 175+ supported languages. The translation includes voice cloning (so your presenter sounds natural in each language) and lip-sync (so mouth movements match the translated audio). Your Spanish version sounds like native Spanish, not dubbed English.
Can I test multiple ad variations quickly?
Yes, this is HeyGen's core advantage. Generate 20, 50, 100+ variations testing different variables: hooks (first 3 seconds), pain points addressed, benefits emphasized, product angles, CTAs, presenter styles, and backgrounds.
How much do UGC ads cost with HeyGen vs hiring creators?
Creator costs: $200-$500 per video. Testing 50 variations costs $10,000-$25,000. HeyGen: Fixed monthly subscription. Unlimited videos. 50 variations costs same as 5 variations: your subscription fee.
ROI timeline: Most performance marketers recover subscription cost in first 10-20 AI-generated videos. Everything beyond is pure margin improvement.
What video specs and formats does HeyGen provide?
HeyGen exports UGC ads in formats for every major platform:
- Vertical 9:16 (1080x1920) for TikTok, Instagram Reels, Stories
- Square 1:1 (1080x1080) for Instagram Feed, Facebook Feed
- Horizontal 16:9 (1920x1080) for YouTube, landscape placements
- Custom dimensions for specific placements
How does HeyGen compare to traditional video production?
Traditional marketing video production requires talent coordination, studio bookings, filming days, and post-production editing—typically 2-4 weeks and $5,000-$20,000+ per finished video. HeyGen generates comparable quality in minutes at a fraction of the cost. When campaigns change or content needs updates, you regenerate rather than reshoot. Marketing teams report 3x faster content creation and dramatically lower production costs.
Can I translate UGC ads for international campaigns?
Yes. Create UGC ad in your primary language, translate to 175+ languages with voice cloning and lip-sync. Same avatar speaks fluent Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Mandarin with natural pronunciation.
Launch international campaigns without hiring regional creators. One ad creation becomes unlimited market versions. Typical use: create 5-10 core ad concepts in English, translate each to 5-10 target languages, launch with 50-100 market-specific variations.
