That was one of the main ideas explored in the masterclass “UGC 2026: let your community create for you on TikTok and Instagram”<\/strong>, delivered by Patricia Schilt Morales (Account Manager) and Sergi Rodr\u00edguez (Community Manager) from Imagina as part of a training session organised by the Col\u00b7legi del M\u00e0rqueting i la Comunicaci\u00f3 de Catalunya.<\/p>\n The session addressed one of the major shifts transforming digital marketing: the growing importance of User Generated Content (UGC)<\/strong> as a tool for building trust, increasing reach and improving conversions.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Consumers increasingly trust traditional advertising less and recommendations and experiences shared by other people more.<\/p>\n That is why UGC has become one of the most effective tools for connecting with audiences. It is not simply about users talking about a brand, but about using that content strategically in TikTok and Instagram campaigns, ecommerce and social media advertising.<\/p>\n Authenticity has become one of the factors with the greatest influence on purchase decisions.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t One of the most interesting parts of the training session was clarifying the difference between three concepts that are often confused:<\/p>\n Although they may look similar, each format serves different objectives within a marketing strategy.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t The masterclass also reviewed some of the best-performing formats on social media today:<\/p>\n The recommendation was clear: test content organically first and use paid promotion only for the pieces that have already proved they connect with the audience<\/strong>. This approach helps optimise investment and reduce the risk of ineffective campaigns.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t One of the highlights of the session was the presentation of the Caphunters<\/strong> success story. Caphunters is a brand specialising in caps and snapbacks whose digital strategy is managed by Imagina Digital.<\/p>\n Through the TikTok Shop Affiliate<\/strong> programme, the brand has developed a scalable model in which hundreds of creators produce content independently and receive a commission for every sale they generate.<\/p>\n This system shows how UGC can move beyond one-off activity and become a continuous process capable of generating content, increasing visibility and contributing directly to sales.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Beyond the tools, the masterclass focused on the importance of working with a structured process.<\/p>\n From defining objectives and selecting creators to creative references, usage rights and reusing content in paid campaigns, every stage influences the strategy\u2019s final performance.<\/p>\n The goal is not simply to produce more videos, but to build a sustainable content creation system that delivers trust and long-term results.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Platforms are constantly evolving, but one factor keeps gaining importance: people trust people.<\/p>\n The growth of UGC shows that brands no longer need to be the sole focus of their communications. Helping customers and creators share real experiences can become a major competitive advantage, increasing credibility and improving the performance of digital campaigns.<\/p>\n In an environment where capturing attention is increasingly difficult, authenticity remains one of the most valuable assets in any marketing strategy.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t What is UGC?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n User Generated Content (UGC)<\/strong> is content created by users or creators that shows real experiences with a brand, helping to build trust and improve conversions.<\/p>\n What is the difference between UGC and influencer marketing?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n UGC is created for a brand to use on its own channels, while influencer marketing uses the creator\u2019s audience to amplify a message.<\/p>\n Why does it work so well on TikTok and Instagram?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n These platforms prioritise authentic, relatable content, which usually translates into higher engagement and better results.<\/p>\n How do you start a UGC strategy?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Define your objectives, select the right creators, test content organically and reuse the best-performing pieces in paid campaigns.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t UGC<\/span> has become one of the most effective strategies for connecting with audiences on TikTok<\/span> and Instagram<\/span>. Investing in authentic content created by users or creators builds trust, increases visibility and improves campaign performance. More than a trend, UGC is an opportunity to turn your community into one of your brand\u2019s most valuable assets.<\/p>\n What if the content that sells your brand best isn’t created by your marketing team?
