Via Margarita Bangoy

Hi, I’m Via Margarita Bangoy — a Finance Business Partner with a passion for wellness. A year ago, I weighed 77kg. After joining three Kaizen 100-Day Challenges, I lost over 20kg and gained strength and confidence. I now lift weights, walk daily, and care for my mind, body and spirit. I dream of becoming a model to inspire women to rise, feel empowered, and embrace who they are. One day, I’ll be on a cover — not just as a model, but as a voice for women empowerment, equality and inclusion.

Looking to generate authentic UGC that builds trust with customers?

1. What is UGC and why is it valuable for brands?

User-generated content, or UGC, refers to authentic content created by customers or creators featuring a brand's products. It is valuable because it builds trust, increases credibility, and provides social proof that influences purchasing decisions. UGC often performs better than traditional advertising because audiences perceive it as genuine rather than promotional.

2. How does creator gifting help generate UGC?

Gifting campaigns encourage creators to share authentic product experiences with their audiences. This naturally produces diverse content such as reviews, unboxings, and lifestyle posts that brands can repurpose across marketing channels.

3. Where can brands use gifted UGC content?

Brands can use UGC on social media, websites, email marketing, advertisements, and product pages. This content strengthens credibility across multiple stages of the marketing funnel.

4. Why do consumers trust UGC more than brand advertising?

Consumers perceive UGC as unbiased and relatable. Seeing real creators use products provides social validation and reduces skepticism, making UGC highly effective for influencing purchasing decisions.
