    Which UGC formats work best as TikTok ads, how to brief them, and what to ask a creator for so you can test more versions.

    Formats that suit TikTok ads

    • •Talking-head testimonial — a creator speaking straight to camera
    • •Problem and solution — a quick setup, then your product
    • •Demo — showing the product working
    • •Reaction or taste test — genuine first reactions
    • •List video — '3 reasons I switched'

    Brief for testing

    Ask for one core video with several different first-3-second hooks and a clear call to action. Ask for clean footage without on-screen text so you can add your own.

    Make it look native

    Vertical 9:16, natural light, phone-shot, real voice. It should look like a post, not an ad.
