Abdul Sami produces AI UGC video ads for small and medium brands, e-commerce stores and agencies, using AI presenters and voices or edited real footage. Each batch has several hooks for one offer, so you can see what works before you scale. Pricing is quoted per batch after a short brief.

Rules I follow

How I keep UGC ads honest and effective

Hand ticking a checklist beside a laptop with a video editing timeline

Honesty: I never write fake customer reviews or testimonials. AI presenters are used for explainers, demos and offers, and I check the current Meta and TikTok policy on AI content before launch.

Testing: One offer, three or more hooks, then keep the winner and refresh the creative as results fall. See the notes on lowering cost per lead and the guide to AI video ads for small and medium businesses.

Questions

Before you reach out

Sticky note with a question mark beside a phone and notebook

What are UGC video ads?

UGC (user-generated content) video ads are short, vertical, creator-style videos that look like a real person talking to the camera instead of a polished commercial. They are widely used on Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and TikTok.

What are AI UGC ads?

AI UGC ads use an AI presenter and voice, or AI-assisted editing, to produce creator-style videos without a filmed shoot. They are quicker and cheaper to produce, which makes it easier to test several hooks.

Are AI UGC ads allowed on Meta?

Meta allows AI-generated creative, but it has rules on misleading content and it labels some AI imagery. I do not fake customer reviews or testimonials, and I check the current platform policy before running ads.

Is AI UGC better than real creators?

Neither is always better. Real creators bring authenticity and product-in-hand footage. AI is faster and cheaper for explainers, offers and hook testing. Many brands use both.

How much do UGC video ads cost?

It depends on how many videos and variations you need and whether real footage is involved. I quote per batch in writing after a short brief.

Can you run the ads too?

Yes. I manage the Meta Ads account, so the creative, tracking and testing are done by one person. See the Meta Ads management page.

Do you work with agencies?

Yes. I produce creative for agencies that need extra capacity. See the white label services page.
