Should I use UGC creators or a content network?

Short answer

Marketing managers often find that a managed content network is easier to handle than a team of UGC creators. Creators require constant communication and approval cycles, which can be exhausting. A managed content network is a set of many brand-owned Instagram pages that post your existing project videos many times a day. This system scales your firm's reach automatically, allowing you to focus on creating better content and proving results to your bosses.

Reducing the burden of creator management

Managing even three or four creators is a lot of work. You have to send them materials, check their drafts, and make sure they post on time. If you want to reach millions of people, you need dozens of creators, which is a full-time job. A managed content network, run by a provider like TIDE, takes this off your plate. You provide the videos you already have, and they handle the rest. This allows you to achieve massive scale without the stress and manual labor of managing a team of outside influencers.

Showing massive growth to leadership

It is much more impressive to show your firm's partners that your content has reached millions of people across fifty accounts than to show them the modest results of a single creator post. A managed content network gives you the big numbers you need to prove that your marketing strategy is working. It turns your firm's existing project reveals and site videos into a powerful distribution system that you can point to as a major driver of brand awareness and lead generation for the entire firm.

Ensuring a consistent posting schedule

Creators can be unreliable, missing deadlines or posting content that isn't quite right. A managed content network is a set of many brand-owned Instagram pages that post your videos many times a day from real iPhones. This ensures a perfectly consistent flow of content that you have already approved. You never have to worry about a day with no posts or content that doesn't meet the firm's high standards. This consistency is the key to building a strong and reliable social media presence that consistently attracts new clients.

Protecting your time for high-level tasks

As a marketing manager, you should be focused on the big picture, like planning new shoots or improving the firm's website. You shouldn't be stuck in the weeds of social media management. A managed content network automates the most time-consuming part of your job: the distribution. By using a provider like TIDE, you free up your time for more important work, making you a more valuable asset to the firm while still delivering the massive social media results that leadership expects.

Choose a managed content network to achieve massive scale and consistent results with a much smaller personal workload.

Follow-up questions

What if the partners want 'famous' influencers?

Explain that influencers are good for a one-time splash, but a managed network provides the consistent, high-volume reach needed to drive a steady stream of leads.

Do I still need to create new content?

Yes, but you can create it at your own pace. The network will keep your firm visible by repurposing your existing library of project videos and site footage.

How do we keep the accounts from being banned?

The provider handles the technical side to minimize risk, and if an account is banned, they replace it. It is not something you have to manage yourself.
