To support our retail holiday campaign, we needed UGC video content to use in TikTok ads. School of Thought worked with us to recruit 10 creators that fit into customer profiles we provided, and contract each of those 10 creators to make 3 UGC videos each for 30 total deliverables. School of Thought then helped to facilitate all recruitment and contracting, as well as negotiating the usage rights and posting cadence that we required from the creators while sticking to our budget. We will use the content throughout our the rest of holidays in paid TikTok ads. "Project Name: Influencer Marketing for Law Firm

School of Thought Team Bios

Tom Geary
Founder & Creative Director
Tom’s writing career began at the tender age of ten, publishing a tiny newspaper in Fiji that cost 10 cents to produce. Selling them for 10 cents each didn’t rake in the profits, but he caught the entrepreneurial bug, and hasn’t recovered since.

John Buscaglia
Partner & Director of Video Production
John’s worked in video longer than some of our interns have been alive. His past two decades have been spent editing national TV spots for the likes of Taco Bell, Levi’s, Coors, Pillsbury...the list goes on. When he’s not working his sweet editing moves, he’s playing tennis or dabbling in AI.
