"Bringing you on board has been a phenomenal experience. From your initial pitch to your delivery, we've been impressed every step of the way. You've taken a hands-on approach and shown exceptional service and a human touch." "Chloë goes above and beyond. We've been working on a structured strategy since the project began, and she's helped drive it forward with new ideas, perspective, and energy."

I create UGC videos that look native to the feed and convert like ads, without looking like ads. Since starting on Upwork, I’ve earned Rising Talent status and completed UGC projects across multiple niches with zero bad reviews. I work across the formats brands actually need: - POV videos (unboxing, get-ready-with-me, day-in-the-life style) - Talking-head videos (product demos, testimonials, tutorials) - Professional (brand safe, polished delivery for ads and landing pages) I’ve worked with clients in e-commerce, tech, supplements, trading, etc. Each project starts with understanding the product, the audience, and what’s already working (or not) so the content I send back fits your brand voice instead of sounding generic. What you can expect working with me: - Clear communication and realistic turnaround times - Multiple takes/angles per script so you have options to choose from - Raw and edited files delivered, so your team has full flexibility - A creator who reads the brief properly the first time If you’re looking for a UGC that doesn’t feel like an ad, send me your product details or a script and I’ll get back to you with the next steps within a few hours.
