UGC Creator
A creator paid to produce authentic-looking content for a brand's own channels and ads, not to post it to their audience.

Short answer
A UGC creator is a person paid to produce authentic-looking, user-style content, such as testimonials, unboxings and product demos, for a brand to publish on its own channels and ads. Unlike influencers, they are not hired to post to their own audience. Brands use their content because native-feeling creative often performs well in social advertising.
