Sponsored UGC for Sports Broadcasts

Sponsored UGC for sports broadcasts is an incredible way to boost station revenues.

Combined with traditional advertising, Sponsored UGC is ideal for brands to connect with highly engaged sports fans. UGC from sporting venues, tailgates, and watch parties make perfect sports sponsorship content.

A Sponsored UGC segment during sports broadcasts provides advertisers with an authentic space to connect with their target demographic and associate their brand with the excitement of the game.

This sense of shared passion and loyalty is something that commercial spots alone can’t do.

Sponsored UGC for News Broadcasts

Sponsored UGC during local news, morning shows, or lifestyle segments provides advertisers with an unparalleled way to build brand awareness and trust within local communities.

Advertisers can build positive brand associations by leveraging your station’s trusted reputation within your community.

A Sponsored UGC segment where viewers share images, videos, or local stories offers incredible brand value for sponsors who want to be considered integral members of their neighborhoods.

Sponsored UGC for Holidays

Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and Independence Day – the year is filled with special days with unique community, state, and national celebrations.

Sponsored UGC for holidays opens new doors of revenue for your local broadcasts by providing brands with an impactful way to connect themselves with these special moments.

With proper brand alignment, a Sponsored UGC campaign will drive valuable leads and sales to your advertisers while helping build a seasonal brand.

Fully Customized Brand Experiences

Sponsored UGC can be completely customized for a sponsor’s needs, including crafting a campaign directly related to the sponsor’s brand awareness and lead-generation goals.

Imagine a Sponsored UGC campaign for an auto body dealership where viewers submit photos of their old vehicles for a chance to win a $500 discount on car repair services. This strategic campaign allows the sponsor to generate leads while positioning itself as a dependable brand for car repair solutions.

Fully customized UGC campaigns empower brands to stand out, amplify awareness, and generate qualified leads.

100% Brand Safe

Sponsored UGC is all about brand safety.

Approval is required before any UGC piece goes live, and all UGC campaigns have a fully customizable privacy and usage policy to guarantee participants agree to any terms and conditions.

These controls secure brand integrity, ensuring that every piece of UGC aired meets the broadcaster’s values and the sponsor’s expectations.

Advertisers and broadcasters can rest easy, knowing that their Sponsored UGC campaigns are shielded from inappropriate content.
