The 9 UGC Templates Every Portfolio Needs
Brands aren't looking for a creator who can do one thing well, they want range. These are the 9 video types that show up in every successful UGC portfolio. Hit all 9 and you're past the "fewer than 9 = red flag" benchmark before you even pitch.
- 01Problem / Solution — Show the pain point, then the product as the answer. The single most pitched format.
- 02Testimonial — You, talking to camera, telling viewers why this product earned a permanent spot in your life.
- 03Before & After — Visual transformation, side-by-side. Brands love these because they sell.
- 04UGC Ad (Green Screen Style) — Tech-feel, react to a screenshot or trend, then pivot to the product.
- 05Product Demo — How it works, hands on camera, in 60 seconds or less.
- 06B-Roll with Voiceover — Aesthetic visuals with a calm, confident voice over. Shows brands you can do moody and editorial too.
- 07Unboxing — Slow reveal of packaging and product. Satisfying, scroll-stopping, evergreen.
- 08Day in the Life — Show the product woven into a real day. Makes it feel earned, not sold.
- 09Listicle / Educational — "Top 5 things every [audience] needs." Authority + entertainment in one.
