Background

Real moments are captured by real people every day with over 500 hours of video content uploaded to YouTube alone every minute.  These moments are authentic and genuine and as a result, they’re incredibly engaging, shareable and trusted. This makes UGC one of the most untapped resources for creatives who want to engage their audience with emotive, organic content.

Jukin Media works with brands every day to license incredible UGC, the likes of which is seen on their channels FailArmy and People Are Awesome, and in campaigns for the world’s biggest brands. This contest will allow creatives to uncover the creative potential of the wealth of UGC available for the social, digital and TV campaigns they ideate and create.

Working with Creativepool, the creative industry network, Jukin Media is opening their library of 50,000+ videos to creatives in the UK and all over Europe to unleash the creative power of UGC.

Heather Deacon, Creative Solutions Director at Creativepool said, “Creativepool works tirelessly to connect our incredible community of creatives to new tools, trends and lessons with which to improve and innovate their campaigns. This collaboration with Jukin Media will bring the power of the largely untapped resource of organic UGC to the forefront of the creative industry’s mind. I cannot wait to see the submissions from the community.”
