International product launches need a well-rounded content plan, a mix of high-quality professionally produced media and community-driven contributions. To capture and scale content across global markets, you need a diverse toolkit: from cinematic videos to user-generated testimonials.
MarketScale offers a suite of content creation tools that cover both ends of this spectrum, helping brands deliver consistent messaging while also pulling in stakeholders and community members as contributors. This article covers the tools and how to integrate them into a full international content plan.
Use Case: CGC Tools to Support an International Product Launch
Tools in the MarketScale Ecosystem
Self-Recording Tools. Perfect for capturing video directly from subject matter experts (SMEs) or internal team members without needing on-site equipment or a professional crew. Great for product demos, intros, or updates aimed at international audiences.
Conversation Rooms. Build podcasts, interviews, and panel discussions in a high-quality remote recording environment. Ideal for executives, thought leaders, or partners, and perfect for producing localized content that aligns with the launch by bringing in experts from multiple regions.
Open Request Links. A game-changer for scaling community-generated content. Send a link to your team, customers, or global audience asking them to upload testimonials, reactions, or localized video. The resulting UGC can be repurposed across marketing channels.
Mass Upload of Community-Generated Content. Gathering content from numerous contributors can get overwhelming fast. Mass upload simplifies the process, letting you pull large volumes of UGC into the platform for easy organization, review, and reuse, especially valuable when engaging international customers, influencers, or internal teams.
Why Mix High-End and Community-Generated Content?
The best international campaigns strike a balance between polished, professionally produced media and authentic, community-generated content. Cinematic "wow" draws attention; raw, relatable content from customers and employees builds connection and credibility.
High-End Content: Professionally shot product videos and ad spots, the backbone of the campaign, delivering a polished and aspirational look. MarketScale's Onsite Video Booking tool keeps the big shoots streamlined and in-platform.
Community-Generated Content: Testimonials, real-world use cases, and feedback from employees, partners, or customers across regions. International customers respond better to people who share their experiences. UGC is how you build trust at scale.
Steps to Build Your Content Plan
Step 1: Define Your Content Needs
Outline the types of content you need for the launch. Plan a mix of high-end professional videos and scalable community content. Identify the key product features or themes you want to highlight across formats.
Step 2: Engage SMEs and Thought Leaders with Conversation Rooms
Identify internal experts or external thought leaders who can speak to your product. Use Conversation Rooms to capture high-quality interviews or panel discussions, either as localized content for specific markets or general insights that apply globally.
Step 3: Distribute Open Request Links for UGC
Send Open Request Links to your global team, customers, or influencers, asking them to submit video on how they use the product, why they're excited about it, or to share testimonials. This surfaces authentic content that represents different cultural perspectives and use cases.
Step 4: Upload and Manage Community-Generated Content
Once UGC starts coming in, use mass upload to organize and review. Choose clips that resonate with specific regional markets and integrate them into your broader campaign. MarketScale makes editing and repurposing these clips into cohesive marketing assets simple.
Step 5: Combine with High-End Cinematic Content
Make sure your CGC complements the professionally produced work. Pairing polished product shots with authentic customer testimonials creates a balanced experience that appeals to both aspiration and relatability.
