Get more out of user-generated content
The power of user-generated content (UGC) is undeniable. It’s low-hanging fruit—
content created and shared by users, followers, or brand advocates who love your products or services.
Think social media posts, videos, photos, blogs, or reviews that they share with their network.
This makes UGC perfect promotional material for your brand—
provided it aligns with your brand messaging and your content supply chain is well-structured.
There’s work to be done because managing user-generated content is no easy task.
With visual content automation and AI, however, the process becomes much simpler.
At Catena Company, we implement these technologies and train your team to effectively leverage user-generated content.

Automation of content
– the solution
For user-generated content around your brand to go out into the world in accordance with your branding guidelines, you need to go back to the source. Accelerate and automate your own content management with the Dynamic Data Publishing Suite. DDPS collects data from various sources – such as social media feeds, CRM or DAM – and seamlessly formats this content for use in campaigns and channels, without altering the original data.
Then combine DDPS with Digital Asset Management (DAM) for the ideal synergy between automated content creation and distribution. By integrating with your DAM system, only approved and relevant user-generated content is used. This ensures your brand consistency without the need for intensive moderation of each item.
