Where do I find and brief UGC creators in India affordably?
The short answer
You don't need a national UGC agency to start, a handful of micro-creators on Instagram in your category will do, brief them with a simple script (not a mood board) and pay per video, not per follower. UGC agencies like Sqroot, Iblix and Marketing Studio exist specifically to source, brief and manage creators at scale once DIY sourcing stops keeping up with your creative volume needs. One good creator video should yield 5-10 distinct ads once your media team cuts different hooks and lengths from it, don't waste a shoot on a single edit.
