It’s so amazing watching boomer CMOs discover UGC. Some of the biggest advertisers in the world have spent decades pouring money into abysmally low-converting marketing channels, ask them to defend their current spend and their answer is always “it’s how we’ve always done it.” Then they finally give UGC a shot and obtain sub CPMs like they've never seen, with conversions way above their previous benchmarks. Trust young marketers. It's a new world out there.

AI UGC is a divisive topic in the UGC community. Many people hate it. We are fully embracing it at @launchpoint . We are partnering with @higgsfield on a $1M prize pool for creators to create converting AI content for brands. The future will have much more AI content. Human and AI content will live side by side. The future is (almost) here.

Higgsfield stealth launched AI influencer accounts and racked up over 40 million views. Now they’re offering a million dollars to anyone who does the same. Launchpoint and Higgsfield are breaking the internet. The future of socials is coming.

If you’re in consumer and you’re not hiring UGC creators like crazy you’re NGMI Look at any consumer company hyper scaling right now and it’s all the same playbook

We really are cooking at @launchpoint If you're marketing a consumer app and not running large scale UGC you're NGMI
Fomo is starting to look a lot like an early Robinhood. the numbers are INSANE: > 2.5M+ users > $500M in ARR 😳 > $7.7B monthly trading volume > a recent $75M Series B a huge part of that growth has come from how well they’ve executed their creator program. they’ve very likely deployed well over $10M into creator spend at this point. open X, TikTok, or Instagram and the @fomo app is all over your feed. what'd be really interesting to see is if they eventually expand beyond trading and start layering in more fintech products like Robinhood did: > Fomo Visa Cards > virtual accounts > yield / savings trading at the core, with an entire fintech product line built around it. all around brilliant execution by their team.
