What is the UGC Overlay ad format?
A photo that looks like it could've been taken on someone's phone — a person holding a product, wearing jewelry, or using a laptop — with text laid directly on top to call out a sale, product feature, or benefit. It splits the difference between polished product photography and full UGC: the setting feels real and unstaged, but the overlay text gives you clear branding or messaging control. Brands use this when they want the approachability of user-generated content but need to drive a specific point home, like a discount code or a key product claim.
