What a headquarters city orders
| The buyer | Their typical order | Their requirement |
|---|---|---|
| A corporate head office | Recruitment videos | Sign-off from the communications team |
| An outdoor brand | Use in the mountains | A shoot in real conditions |
| A neighbourhood business | Short product videos | A tight budget |
What a communications team changes about the timeline
Approval passes through several people. Allowing two rounds in the quote and setting a reply deadline stops a three-day job from stretching over six weeks.
What proximity to the mountains allows
Spectacular exteriors an hour's drive away. They justify a travel fee, but they also place the profile in a segment that creators on the plains cannot serve.
What the platform brings
On UGC MATCH, joining is free and there is no subscription: you are visible by category, language and country, and the order keeps a record of the brief and the delivery, which helps when several people approve. The brand pays at ordering, the funds are not released straight away, and payment goes out on approval. The platform retains 10% of the price on the creator side, who therefore keeps 90%, and charges the brand a 6% service fee, with a minimum of 1.50 EUR.
One last marker: in this market, it is not your edit that makes you late, it is the approval chain. Write it into the quote and you stop bearing its consequences.
