UGC Portfolio Examples That Get Brand Jobs
What to include in a UGC creator portfolio so brands and platforms can quickly trust your filming ability.
What brands scan first
Brands do not read every word of your portfolio before watching your videos. They scan your first few clips, your niches, your location, your face-to-camera confidence, and whether the footage feels useful for ads.
Your portfolio should answer one question quickly: can this creator make footage that helps us sell without feeling fake?
- A clear intro with your name, location, and niches
- Five to eight strong video samples
- At least one talking-to-camera clip
- At least one product demo
- At least one unboxing or routine-style clip
- Your contact details and platform links
The sample mix
Build your sample set like a mini ad library. Show that you can open with a hook, demonstrate a product, explain a benefit, use natural B-roll, and close with a simple call to action.
If you are new, use products you already own. Brands do not need every sample to be paid work. They need evidence that you understand the format.
What Hey Creators wants to see
Because Hey Creators handles editing, polished final ads matter less than clear raw ingredients. Good light, clean audio, confident delivery, stable phone footage, and practical B-roll are more valuable than heavy editing.
Show the team what you can shoot in your real space. That helps match you to briefs where your home, look, voice, and product comfort are an asset.
FAQ
Can I apply with a Canva portfolio?
Yes. A simple Canva, Notion, website, Google Drive, or social profile can work if the videos load easily and the best examples appear first.
How many videos should a beginner portfolio include?
Aim for five strong samples. Add more only when they show a meaningfully different style, category, or skill.
