How to actually do UGC *while* you travel ✈️
(PS the last location is arguably the coolest 😎)
It’s crazy to realize that after years of working towards this, I’ve been able to film UGC and brand collabs all over the world!
So here’s some things to know if you want to do this to:
✨ I usually get the products shipped to my home base in Chicago before I travel
✨ That said, I’ve had things shipped to a tiny town in Bulgaria too! So the right brands will be willing to accommodate you
✨ 3 of these collabs came from cold email pitching through , and one came from
✨ If you’re starting from scratch, create some example videos while you travel with products you already have with you
✨ Make a filming plan! Don’t let a collab take over your entire trip and decide when you’ll film, then put the tripod down
✨ Doing products while you travel can be challenging with logistics, so consider working with digital companies instead
