Casting: Calling all UGC creators! Open casting for our Agency

We are Upshot Creatives! We're a fast-growing advertising agency specializing in direct-response and performance-driven video ads, is currently expanding its roster of talented UGC creators for ongoing work across a wide range of brands and product niches. We're looking to bring on dozens (if not hundreds) of new creators for paid collaborations—the more, the better. If you're an experienced UGC creator with a strong portfolio and you're ready to create compelling, authentic content that drives real results for clients, we want to hear from you. Who We're Looking For: • Creators with a solid portfolio of real UGC work (Instagram Reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts, etc.). • People who can deliver natural, confident on-camera performance with solid pacing and tone. We hate "UGC voice". We want to work with creators that TALK NORMAL. I know it's tempting to get locked into a certain way of speaking, but our performances need to sound real. I just want to point that out here and now. That's a big thing we're looking for. • Individuals who are easy to work with, receptive to creative direction, and who can operate within fair, performance-based budgets. ⚠ Please note: We're not looking to pay Hollywood rates for small B-roll-heavy projects. We regularly produce high-performing, scrappy UGC ads for the brands we work with, and we expect rate expectations to be grounded in reality and value delivered. If you're reasonable, communicative, and consistent—we'll send you work regularly. ⚠ About Upshot Creatives: We’re a creative agency that produces high-converting ad creatives for some of the most exciting supplement, wellness, beauty, lifestyle, and ecommerce brands in the U.S. and abroad. Our ads are regularly featured on Meta, TikTok, YouTube, Amazon, and TV. Brands/Niches We Commonly Work In: • Supplements & wellness products • Skincare & beauty • Fitness & performance • Household goods • Apparel & fashion • Personal development, mindset, and productivity tools How It Works: • You’ll receive ongoing briefs matched to your style, demographic, or content strengths. • Most projects involve direct-to-camera scripts with simple visual storytelling and/or lifestyle/product B-roll. • You'll have flexibility to film remotely on your own time (we love creators who are self-sufficient and can hit deadlines without handholding). • We scale pay based on project complexity. You’ll set a base rate for simple shoots (e.g., talking head + 3 shots of B-roll). More involved projects are paid higher! - Medium (5–7 B-roll shots): +25% - Hard (7+ B-roll shots + props/effects): +50% - Very Hard (multi-location, high-effort concepts): +75% • Turnaround and communication are key. If you’re fast, organized, and easy to work with, we’ll bring you back again and again. • We expect you to have your own filming equipment. At least beginner level things like: lighting, a lavalier mic, your own transportation, locations you can film in (car, gym, outdoors, etc.), basic wardrobe (lifestyle, work out clothes, formal wear), etc. Basic things that you would already need to have to be a UGC creator at all. You probably already have all of those things, but its worth pointing out because people have asked for us to buy filming equipment for them in the past. We don't do that. To Apply, please submit: • A link to your UGC portfolio or reel • Any relevant social handles or samples of past ad-style content • Your typical rate range for short-form UGC videos (1–2 minutes) • A sentence or two about your background (is there anything in particular we should know about you that would make you a better choice for certain projects over someone else?) Let’s make some great ads together!
