From AI-powered curation to creator collaborations, discover the best practices and hottest UGC trends shaping marketing in 2025.
UGC is no longer just another marketing channel for brands. It’s a marketing powerhouse. However, with the landscape changing rapidly, knowing what works now is crucial to staying ahead.
Best Practices for UGC in 2025
- Ask, Don’t Assume - Invite customers to create content (don’t just hope they do). Incentives help.
- Repurpose Everywhere - UGC isn’t just for social media. Use it in emails, product pages, and even paid ads.
- Get Permissions Early - Always request crights before using someone’s content commercially.

Emerging Trends
- Nano & Micro-Creator Partnerships - Brands are partnering with smaller creators for relatable content that converts.
- Short-Form Video Domination - TikTok, Reels, and Shorts remain the top-performing formats for UGC.
- AI UGC Curation - Tools now help brands find, tag, and organise UGC faster than ever.
Why This Matters
Consumers are more selective about where they spend their money. Authenticity is no longer optional. It’s expected. Brands that can show real-world use of their product will win.
