UGC-Style Social Video Ads for Temu – Produced by Content Supply

Temu is an online marketplace operated by PDD Holdings, a Chinese e-commerce company founded by Colin Huang. Launched in September 2022, Temu offers a wide range of heavily discounted consumer goods, primarily shipped directly from China. The platform has rapidly gained popularity, especially among Gen Z consumers in the U.S., becoming one of the most downloaded shopping apps. Temu's business model focuses on affordability and accessibility, providing a diverse selection of products across various categories.

The Challenge

Temu, a fast-growing online marketplace known for its affordable and diverse product offerings, sought to enhance its social media presence and connect with its target audience, particularly Gen Z consumers. To achieve this, Temu needed authentic and engaging video ads that mirrored the relatable, casual aesthetic of user-generated content (UGC). The challenge was to create ads that would not only capture attention but also resonate with their audience's preferences for real, everyday storytelling, all while staying true to Temu's brand values and driving conversions.

The Solution

To help Temu increase brand visibility and connect with a wider audience through social media, Content Supply delivered a full-service UGC-style video ad production solution—designed to be native to each platform, scroll-stopping, and performance-ready.

Here’s how we brought the campaign to life:

Authentic, Creator-Driven Content Production

We sourced and directed diverse creators who could naturally represent Temu’s brand, lifestyle, and target audience. Each video was built around relatable use cases, product highlights, and emotional appeal—delivering a “real customer” feel that audiences trust and engage with.

Platform-Native, Short-Form Video Ads

Every asset was shot and edited for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Meta ads, using native trends, transitions, and storytelling styles. The content felt organic—not scripted or overly polished—mirroring the kind of videos users already watch and share.

Strategic Messaging and Hook Optimization

We focused on strong openers (“hooks”), social proof, and call-to-action delivery. Each video was crafted to maximize the first 3 seconds, hold attention, and drive viewers to take action—boosting ad performance and click-through rates.

End-to-End Execution and Delivery

From creator casting and scripting to editing and file delivery, Content Supply managed the entire production workflow. Temu received a library of short-form videos ready to launch, test, and scale across their paid and organic channels.

The result was a series of engaging, authentic UGC-style video ads that strengthened Temu’s social presence, improved brand relatability, and supported ongoing performance marketing efforts.

The Process

To deliver authentic, high-performing social video ads for Temu, Content Supply executed a streamlined, end-to-end creative production process—designed specifically for user-generated content (UGC) that feels native to platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Meta.

Here’s a breakdown of the process we used:

1. Campaign Brief & Strategy Alignment

We started by aligning with Temu’s team on campaign goals, brand voice, target audience, and key product messaging. This included:

  • Identifying the products or collections to highlight
  • Clarifying the core CTA (e.g., app downloads, product views, brand awareness)
  • Outlining tone (fun, casual, trustworthy) and visual style preferences
  • Mapping out key use cases or lifestyle scenarios that would resonate with their audience

This strategic foundation ensured each video aligned with Temu’s marketing objectives.

2. UGC Creator Sourcing & Casting

We sourced a curated group of UGC creators who matched Temu’s target audience demographics and could deliver natural, relatable content. This step involved:

  • Presenting talent options to the client
  • Finalizing selected creators and coordinating contracts
  • Shipping product samples directly to the creators for filming
  • Providing wardrobe and setting recommendations to match the creative brief

3. Scripted Outlines & Creative Direction

Rather than rigid scripts, we developed loose talking points and hook options that allowed each creator to speak authentically while still hitting key brand messages. Each creator received:

  • Platform-specific filming guidelines (framing, energy, tone)
  • Approved product claims and value propositions
  • Recommended intro hooks, body structure, and closing CTA prompts

This approach resulted in authentic-feeling content that maintained brand control.

4. Content Review & Editing

After creators submitted their footage, our post-production team handled:

  • Selecting the strongest takes and cutting together short-form videos
  • Adding platform-native text overlays, captions, transitions, and branded animations
  • Formatting for vertical video across TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Meta
  • Creating variations with different hooks or CTAs for A/B testing

We delivered fully optimized ad-ready videos, typically in 5–7 days from creator submission.

5. Delivery & Performance-Ready Assets

Final files were organized and delivered in labeled folders with:

  • Multiple video variations for testing and scaling
  • Optimized aspect ratios and resolutions per platform
  • Thumbnails and preview stills (if needed)
  • Usage rights documentation for each creator

Temu’s team could instantly plug these assets into paid campaigns or organic content schedules.

This process gave Temu a plug-and-play UGC ad system—allowing them to scale high-quality, authentic video content with speed, efficiency, and creative consistency across every campaign.
