Once a creator hands over a video, the next conversation usually circles around how you can actually use it. This article gives you the exact wording to lock in UGC rights, plus where to store it in Hubfluence.
Quick answer
To secure UGC rights, send the creator a short message that names every placement explicitly (organic reposts, TikTok Spark Ads, Meta and YouTube ad repurposing) and confirms they keep ownership of the original. Save that message as a CRM note on the creator's record in Hubfluence so the rights paper trail lives next to the rest of their campaign history.
Why usage rights need to be explicit
Reposting to your brand TikTok is one thing. Running paid spend behind it on Spark Ads or pulling clips into a Meta ad is another, and most creators want explicit confirmation before that happens. Naming each placement up front is what prevents a dispute later when an ad runs on a platform the creator didn't expect.
The message that works
Send it in DMs, drop it into the email thread, or save it as a CRM note in Hubfluence so the next person on your team can find it without digging.
"Hey Maya, I wanted to follow up and see if you're okay with us repurposing the video you made with Lumen Hydrator. We plan to get your approval to repost it organically on our TikTok and Instagram, run it as a Spark Ad on TikTok, and repurpose clips within our brand ad creatives on Meta and YouTube. Full credit goes to you, and you keep the original, we're just asking for usage rights. Cool with you?"
Why this wording works
Two things are doing the work in that message. The first is naming each placement explicitly so there's no surprise later when an ad runs on a platform the creator didn't expect. The second is making clear the creator still owns the content. Most creators say yes immediately when those two pieces are in place, and the ones who hesitate usually want a small bump in payment for paid usage, which is a normal negotiation.
Where to store the rights record
Save the message inside Hubfluence as a CRM note tagged to the creator's record so the rights paper trail lives next to the rest of their campaign history. If you ever need to defend a usage decision later, that note is the receipt. Hubfluence also has a dedicated Usage Rights feature that tracks approvals against each creator, so you always know which videos you're cleared to run as ads.
