In the era of video-first platforms dominating paid social, User-Generated Content (UGC) has long been a go-to for creating authentic ads. But traditional UGC comes with its challenges: it’s expensive, slow to produce, and difficult to localize. These hurdles make scaling campaigns harder than ever.

‍

At Plug, we’ve flipped the script by introducing Avatar-Generated Content (AGC)—a scalable alternative that uses human-like avatars to produce diverse, localized, and realistic ad creatives in a matter of minutes.

‍

The Challenge

Short-form video has become essential for paid social success, but brands relying on traditional UGC face several roadblocks:

• High Investment: UGC production involves significant investments and lengthy lead times, which limit scalability.
• Localization Struggles: Adapting content for multiple languages and regions can be both complex and resource-intensive.
• Creative Fatigue: In a fast-paced digital landscape, videos need constant updates to stay fresh and relevant—a task that’s slow and cumbersome with UGC.

Our Solution

To overcome these challenges, we integrated Captions AI Creators into our workflows. This enabled us to:

• Achieve Effortless Scalability: Generate a high volume of ad creatives in seconds using a simple prompt, allowing us to scale campaigns without losing time.
• Streamline Localization: Drastically cut costs and time by eliminating the need for external talent and manual localization efforts.‍
• Maximize Flexibility: Quickly edit and regenerate ad content based on real-time performance data, ensuring campaigns stay dynamic and effective.

By adopting human-like avatars, Plug unlocked significant advantages, redefining how we produce ad content for brands:

• 1-Day Turnarounds: Ad production times were reduced from one month to just one day, enabling rapid campaign deployment.
