Eva Juretic, Growth Marketing Lead, HighriseAs one of the top-spending advertisers on TikTok, we have a high bar for great creatives, and Rocketship delivered on both production and performance. We thoroughly enjoyed working with the team, as they communicated strategy clearly, shared detailed briefs, and were generally very open and collaborative.
Siberia Su, UA Lead, MobilityWareWorking with RocketShip HQ was like working with a full-blown marketing department. They produced an incredible amount of innovative creatives, and offered detailed and valuable insights in our weekly reviews.
We’ve been on the leading edge of UGC ads for performance marketing….
…and we routinely churn out top 1% ads(screenshot from TikTok partner portal below).
UGC is HARD: here are some of the challenges we solve for
😢
Influencers take creative license
Influencers give us footage that looks nothing like what the brief specified.
How we solve for this: we work with creators, not influencers - and we make clear that they have to follow the briefs precisely.
🎥🙅
Production quality is unreliable
We’d get footage with light reflecting off the screens - or background sounds, which basically rendered the footage unusable.
How we solve for this:we have a comprehensive production checklist to ensure shoots come out right every time.
😲
Influencers are pricey
You’re often quoted astronomical prices for their audiences - or for shoot locations/equipment/props that you dont really need❌
How we solve for this: we work with actors and creators(not influencers) that run our signature remote-shoot process that keeps costs affordable.
😂
UGC performance can be unreliable
You often get scripts that look funny - or that look entertaining - but would bomb on the ad platforms. Or ads would have great upper funnel metrics(great - because it shows people are engaged) but just no downstream conversions(not great - because they aren't buying).
How we solve for this: we build UGCs based on proven frameworks that are built on our own experience of making 10000+ ads. Our entire process is run and managed by performance strategists and marketers that also manage millions in monthly ad spend - so we’re very dialed in on performance and data, not aesthetics.
And because we’ve refined and fine-tuned these processes over 10000+ ads, we’ve anticipated every pitfall, every challenge, every delay - and we now have a plug-and-play process that YOU can bolt onto your business to make and use high-performance UGC ads for ROAS, performance, and scale.

If all of these appeal to you, I invite you to be a part of Rocketship HQ’s UGC creative production program.
If you join us, here is what the next 4 weeks will look like….
Week 1: Fasten your seatbelts
🤔Intake questionnaire: We review your inputs to truly understand your brand, your customers - and what drives performance.

Week 3: Getting ready for prime time
📥🗂️Receive and organize footage: We receive footage and clips from our creators(often we request 2x or 3x the footage that we truly need - so we have a buffer) - and get these organized for edits.

There are a lot of options you can choose from. Why choose this one?
Let’s face it. You’ve plenty of options out there for making performant ad creatives. You could:
🤝🏻Hire an influencer agency(and pay for the audience of these influencers).
🤝Hire a micro-influencer agency(that may or may not ‘get’ performance marketing).
🧑🎨Try to recruit creators with your internal in-house team.
📲DM creators on TikTok or Insta - and hope they’d be a good fit for you.
🤔Watch webinars or read books to try and ‘figure this out’ yourself.
📨 Ask folks on Slack groups what to do.
🧮 Ask your colleagues or industry friends what they are trying.
The truth is that these things may not move the needle at all for you. You’ve probably tried some of these multiple times.
And sometimes, you don’t want to hire an influencer and wonder if it will work. Or watch a 60 minute webinar and apply it all on your own.
Are you doing it right? Is the agency’s strategy right for YOUR situation? How do you even know if this is the right path?
I get it.
Sometimes you just want someone to do it for you.
Someone that’s been there, done that.
Someone with over a decade of experience, and a nuanced understanding of everything marketing, everything creative, everything UGC - with experience based on over 10,000+ ads made.

FAQs
I’m just starting out and I have small budgets. I have never run performance ads. Should I test UGCs?
No. We typically do not recommend UGCs for completely new advertisers, as these can be a significant commitment that may not be the best use of your time and money if you are brand new to performance marketing and have small budgets.
We’d recommend that you test out performance marketing with other creative formats - and come to us when you have reasonable clarity on your unit economics - and feel ready to scale.
TikTok advertising has never worked for us. Will this work for me?
While each product is different, our observation has been that many products that ‘do not work’ on TikTok ads struggle because they dont have high-performance UGC creative(typically because the creative is funny-but-not-performant, or isnt optimized for performance marketing best practice).
If you’re seeing performance on other platforms but not TikTok, our high-performance UGCs might be just what you need to break open performance on TikTok.
And we’ve seen that UGCs work very well on Meta, on ad networks and programmatic channels - so UGC isnt just a TikTok play.
Can you absolutely guarantee that UGCs will have X% ROAS for me?
Numerous factors go into performance of a marketing campaign. While there is no way to absolutely guarantee a certain ROAS or performance, our dialed-in process based on 10000 ads, 100+ products and $100mm in ad spend ensures that you have the strongest possible chance of unlocking strong performance, ROAS and scale.
What is a variant of an ad?
A variant typically takes a concept produced by a creator - and makes minor changes to it: this could include different overlays, hooks or footage - essentially changes that do not require a script or shoot that are done from scratch.
Do you produce creatives for CTV?
Yes!
How do CTV creatives differ from those for TikTok or digital advertising channels?
CTV creatives require a slightly different approach as compared to creatives for TikTok - as they require high production value creatives, often shot in locations that are specifically chosen(outdoors etc.), and require props/costumes.
