Q: How exactly do you change the way brands generate content?
A: 1) Data-driven content decisions
We’re all about driving data-driven content decisions rather than relying on gut-feel to determine what is “good” and “bad” content. Traditional creative strategies tend to focus on generating certain aesthetics based on preconceived (and un-tested) notions of what makes up “good content.” We provide tools for our clients to generate diverse types of content, then test the content within ads to determine what types of content will actually perform best. Often times brands are surprised to find that UGC (user generated content) photos actually perform better in ads than professionally curated content that is perfectly “on brand.”
2) Reducing Time and Cost
In-house photo shoots are expensive, require long lead times, and lack content diversity. Cohley makes it easy to generate outsourced content at scale to complement in-house content, resulting in cost savings, time savings, and diverse content types.

Q: Can you tell us something more about The Cohley Content Platform? What makes it unique?
A: Brands can run campaigns to generate diverse content types including: product reviews, video testimonials, professional photos, UGC photos, social influencer posts, stop motion videos, etc. Few platforms can do all of the above – most focus on social OR content. With customizable tools and campaigns types, we can tailor the Cohley Content Platform experience based on what’s important to the brand.
Brands have full rights to repurpose all Cohley-generated assets in digital channels. We believe the value of an influencer post reaches much farther than the one time social post – the true value lies in the content that can be repurposed time and time again in marketing channels. That’s why we automatically build in content rights to every Cohley campaign.
