Broadcast vs UGC vs Creators at Your Venue

Updated May 2026
The best creator campaigns start with the right campaign type. Broadcast is for brand-provided media, UGC is for creator-made content, and Creators at Your Venue is for location-based experiences. This guide helps you choose the format that fits the job.
1

Use Broadcast When You Already Have the Content

Broadcast campaigns ask creators to post media supplied by your brand. Use this for finished announcements, product shots, or campaign assets that should stay tightly controlled.

2

Use UGC When Creators Should Make the Content

UGC campaigns ask creators to make original content from your instructions. This is best for testimonials, product explainers, demos, and creative interpretations.

3

Use Creators at Your Venue for Location-Based Experiences

This campaign type asks creators to visit your location and create content from the experience. Your brand location must be current before launch so creators understand where the work happens.

4

Account for Package or Access Requirements

If creators need products, food, access, samples, or materials, mark the campaign as package-dependent. The brand is responsible for making reasonable materials available; platform fees do not include courier booking, travel reimbursement, or fulfillment management.

Best Practices
  • Choose Creators at Your Venue only when the physical location is central to the content
  • Keep your brand profile location current before launching location-based work
  • State package, access, and material expectations clearly in the campaign brief
  • Use Broadcast for finished assets and UGC for creator-led production
Common Mistakes to Avoid
  • Using UGC when creators actually need to visit a location
  • Forgetting to mention products, food, samples, or access requirements
  • Assuming platform campaign fees include fulfillment, courier, or travel costs

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Creators at Your Venue campaign type create a new creator acceptance workflow?

No. It sets clearer expectations in the invite so creators understand the location-based requirement before they accept.

Who handles products, food, access, or materials?

The brand is responsible for reasonable on-site products, food, access, or materials needed to complete the campaign.
