How brands can hire UGC creators (step by step)
By The Chozea Team · September 21, 2026 · 6 min read
A practical process for brands: define the goal, write the brief, set rights and budget, shortlist creators, and review work.
1. Define the goal
Decide what the content is for: ads, product pages, social posts or email. The goal decides the format, length and usage rights you need.
2. Write a clear brief
Include the product, audience, key message, must-show moments, deliverables, deadline and what you'll approve against. A focused brief gets better first drafts.
3. Set rights and budget together
Ad usage, longer durations and whitelisting are worth more to you, so budget for them up front instead of adding them after the fact.
4. Shortlist and invite
On Chozea you can browse Discover and the Feed, shortlist creators, send your campaign to them first, or run an invite-only campaign. Matching looks at niche, audience and style.
5. Fund, review and approve
You fund the deal up front so the creator can start with confidence. You review deliverables, request revisions within the agreed limit, and payment is released after you approve.
