Maken Creators — UGC for advertisers

Anyone can make UGC. Few make UGC that performs.

We come from performance: billions of views and millions in ad spend. That is why we write the script, our creators film line by line, and our team reviews every take.

The difference between UGC and UGC that sells

No creative guesswork — every choice comes from running real campaigns.

We run the ads ourselves

Organic and performance, with billions of views and millions in ad spend behind us. The script is not a matter of taste — it is a data-driven choice from what demonstrably works.

Every take held to the standard

Reviewed by the team that sees the results — take by take, with a reason for every rejection. Only material that clears the bar makes your campaign.

Made to advertise

Rights, the music check and formats are built for paid from the first second — not for posting. What you receive can go into your ads. Today.

“Anyone can make UGC. UGC that sells is a craft.”

How it works

From briefing to ad-ready video — one production line, guarded by us.

01

Briefing & script

We write the script on performance data: multiple hooks and one line per video, with direction for every line — what needs to be on screen.

02

Creators film

Creators apply with a motivation; we choose. Whoever is chosen submits the first takes within 48 hours — otherwise the spot goes back into the pool.

03

Reviewed take by take

Every take is approved or rejected individually, always with a reason. Only approved material moves on to the edit.

04

Edit & deployment

We cut the lines together, per hook variant. The result is ready for paid — and can go straight into our own ad machine.

Viral is not a gamble. It is a testing program.

Every video gets multiple openings — we test in real campaigns which one wins.

The same video, four first seconds.

The first second decides whether someone keeps watching. That is why every creator records multiple hooks — the same core message, a different opening. We put the variants live, see which one wins, and scale it. That is how “viral” actually works: not guessing, but testing variants with budget behind them.

  • Multiple hooks per video, standard in every script
  • Tested in real campaigns, not in an agency meeting
  • The winner gets the budget — the rest teaches us something
Hook A

“Did you know you lose money at night?”

Winner in the test
Hook B

“This was on my bill last month.”

Hook C

POV: your meter runs backwards

Hook D

Before/after: the energy bill

Rights and safety, arranged upfront

Where improvised agreements usually stop, our contract begins.

Full usage rights

Paid ads, worldwide, no end date. Cut, subtitle, re-edit — and transferable to you.

Image, voice and name

Covered separately in the agreement — a different right from copyright, and exactly where things usually go wrong.

The music check

No music from platform libraries — checked at every submission. No claims on your ads.

Sealed on record

Every agreement is version-sealed per assignment, with proof of acceptance. Everything on EU infrastructure.

Why brands switch

Questions, answered honestly

“The honest answers, before the sales call.”

For businesses

What does it cost?+

Every production is custom — the number of videos, formats and goal differ per brand. After one call you receive a concrete proposal with exactly what you get and what it costs. No standard packages.

Who owns the rights?+

The usage rights are fully arranged and transferable to you: paid ads, worldwide, no end date, including editing and re-editing. The creator's image, voice and name are covered separately — exactly where loose agreements usually stop.

How fast do I get videos?+

Chosen creators submit their first takes within 48 hours — otherwise the spot automatically goes back into the pool. The total turnaround depends on the scope; it is stated in the proposal.

Who chooses the creators?+

We do. Creators apply per assignment with a motivation, and we choose based on profile and fit for your brand. You never have to cast.

For creators

How do I get chosen?+

You apply per assignment with a short motivation. We choose based on profile, motivation and what the assignment needs. Not chosen? You can simply apply for the next one.

When do I get paid?+

After your work is approved, once your payout details are complete. With every payout a payment specification or invoice is created for you automatically.

Do I need a business?+

No. You can take part as a private individual (with a BSN) or as a business owner (with a KVK and VAT number). The paperwork — including the invoice in your name — is handled by the platform.

From what age can I take part?+

From 18. Signing up is free; at registration you agree to the creator agreement, so the rights are clear upfront for you and the advertiser.
