For indie product brands · est. 2026

Say goodbye to
cringy UGC videos

Stop sending generic UGC briefs that feel like ads and make customers scroll instantly.

Pocky helps indie brands write creator briefs that feel authentic and aligned with their brand voice, so creators make content people trust and content that actually converts.

Sample brief
B-roll + text overlay5–10s

New product launch: 7000 micro-bristles toner pads

The rest unlocks when you sign up.

The problem

You spend $500–$2,000 on a creator,
approve the content on gut feeling,
and watch it flop.

You don't have a rubric for what works. You don't have time to film it yourself.
And generic UGC tools give you ideas that all sound like ads.

Pocky comes from a creator who's worked with 100+ brands and tested every angle herself such as the hooks, the framing, and the small details that bring authenticity back to UGC.

How it works

Three steps.

No 20-minute onboarding. No 47 fields. Built around how indie founders actually work, fast, between meetings.

01

Drop in your brand

Voice, audience, what you'd never do. One paragraph is enough. Pocky reads it into every brief.

Brand setup

02

Describe the campaign

What you're promoting, your selling points, your hard no's. The form takes ninety seconds.

Wizard

03

Get briefs creators want to film

One format, done right: B-roll + text overlay. Scene not script. Send them straight to your creator.

Output

The method

What makes Pocky different?

Pocky specializes in one brief format: b-rolls with overlay text. We help incorporate your products in the most natural way without sounding like an ad.

Standard UGC ✗

Hook

“Okay I didn't expect this to actually work but this face mist changed my skin…”

Structure

Talking head. Holds up product. Lists benefits. Before/after. Ends with “link in bio.”

Result

Reads as paid in three seconds. Scrolled past.

Pocky's Way ✓

Scene

Weather report from past few days. Text: “DO NOT GO OUTSIDE THIS WEEKEND IF YOU'RE IN NYC.” Cut to creator's damaged skin. Mist applied. End on glowy skin.

Why it works

Starts with a problem everyone felt. Product enters as the relief, not the subject. No CTA, no posing.

Result

The product is the relief, not the pitch.

From the founder

I noticed a brand sends the same document to 50+ creators and expects the content to be delivered at a certain period of time. When that happens, 50+ creators are posting the same video of a product and no one is watching those videos or reaching any conversions. Pocky is going to change that, so we can bring back what UGC originally was.
