Tools in the MarketScale Ecosystem

  1. Self-Recording Tools. Ideal for capturing video directly from subject matter experts (SMEs) or internal team members without the need for on-site equipment or a professional crew. Perfect for product demos, intros, or updates aimed at international audiences.
  2. Conversation Rooms. Create podcasts, interviews, and panel discussions in a high-quality remote recording environment. This tool is perfect for executives, thought leaders, or partners and is ideal for producing localized content that aligns with the launch by involving experts from multiple regions.
  3. Open Request Links. A transformative tool for scaling community-generated content. Send a link to your team, customers, or global audience to upload testimonials, reactions, or localized videos. The resulting UGC can be repurposed across marketing channels.
  4. Mass Upload of Community-Generated Content. Gathering content from numerous contributors can quickly become overwhelming. Mass upload simplifies this process, allowing you to pull large volumes of UGC into the platform for easy organization, review, and reuse, which is especially valuable when engaging international customers, influencers, or internal teams.

Why Mix High-End and Community-Generated Content?

The most effective international campaigns balance polished, professionally produced media with authentic, community-generated content. Cinematic "wow" captures attention, while raw, relatable content from customers and employees builds connection and credibility.

  • High-End Content: Professionally shot product videos and ad spots form the backbone of the campaign, delivering a polished and aspirational look. MarketScale's Onsite Video Booking tool streamlines big shoots and keeps them in-platform.
  • Community-Generated Content: Testimonials, real-world use cases, and feedback from employees, partners, or customers across regions. International customers respond better to people who share their experiences. UGC builds trust at scale.

Steps to Build Your Content Plan

Step 1: Define Your Content Needs

Outline the types of content you need for the launch. Plan a mix of high-end professional videos and scalable community content. Identify the key product features or themes you want to highlight across formats.

Step 2: Engage SMEs and Thought Leaders with Conversation Rooms

Identify internal experts or external thought leaders who can speak about your product. Use Conversation Rooms to capture high-quality interviews or panel discussions, either as localized content for specific markets or general insights that apply globally.

Step 3: Distribute Open Request Links for UGC

Send Open Request Links to your global team, customers, or influencers, asking them to submit videos on how they use the product, why they're excited about it, or to share testimonials. This surfaces authentic content representing different cultural perspectives and use cases.

Step 4: Upload and Manage Community-Generated Content

Once UGC starts coming in, use mass upload to organize and review it. Choose clips that resonate with specific regional markets and integrate them into your broader campaign. MarketScale simplifies editing and repurposing these clips into cohesive marketing assets.

Step 5: Combine with High-End Cinematic Content

Ensure your CGC complements the professionally produced work. Pairing polished product shots with authentic customer testimonials creates a balanced experience that appeals to both aspiration and relatability.
