• UGC projects will always thrown up the following challenges:

• call to action – must be clear, understandable and achievable

• Rights and legal issues of submitted content – music, logos, slander, copyright images

• Production values – image but usually more common to have sound problems. Quality of files submitted - too small etc

Guidelines for Successful UGC

• You can not simply ask for ‘stuff’ – consumers do not respond to general calls to action

• Traditional TV needs to be smart in integrating UGC

• To often interactive or UGC ideas are added in at the end of the idea – make it integral from the beginning

Guidelines for Successful UGC

• The production quality of UGC material needs to be good to engage with the viewer in the long term – or they will switch off

• Ideas that involve either an immediate pay off – see your material on screen within minutes rather than days or weeks or shape the future of the programme (Abduct Me) will always be more popular.
