UGC—A Win-Win for Brands and Consumers?
There’s a new marketing buzzword every few years or so, and "UGC" is having a moment. Or maybe it’ll be a more permanent term. It’s too soon to tell. User-generated content, UGC for short, has been building momentum for a couple of years, proving to be an effective marketing tool for B2C brands.

Question on: CrowdRiff
Can I use CrowdRiff to create a digital visitors guide?
In one of their videos, there are some examples of using CrowdRiff for Visitors Guides. Does CrowdRiff have an interface for digital creation and hosting of a digital visitors guide or is it just to show using images from CrowdRiff? How would I go about doing this? I've used images, but is there a way to create a digital guide through CrowdRiff?

Hi Holli.
Thank you for the question! As of now, you cannot create and host a visitor guide through CrowdRiff. You can, however, use CrowdRiff to source visual content for your guides! I hope that helps.
