Frequently asked questions
Which Italian city pays best for UGC?+
Milan, by a clear margin, driven by fashion, design, beauty and the agencies. Rome, Turin and Bologna pay slightly less but have far less competition, and Verona pays above average in regulated categories such as wine.
Do I need to live in Italy to work with Italian brands?+
No. The large majority of orders are remote and what you deliver is a file. What decides is natural spoken Italian, with no translated phrasing. On site work exists mainly in Rome, Milan and for food and tourism clients.
What do Italian brands pay for a UGC video?+
Between 60 and 150 euros for a first testimonial, 150 to 280 for an experienced creator, more for scripted formats and on site shoots. Ad rights are billed separately, usually 40 to 150 euros per video and per platform.
