Episode 6 of Season 3 of Humanly Plausible features a dynamic conversation with Doug Levy, President of Lexington Rose Consulting, alongside hosts Roly and Richard. Together, they dig into the often-overhyped but rarely understood world of user-generated content (UGC)—and break it down into something actionable, sustainable, and, most importantly, human.

They don’t just talk about why UGC matters—they share a blueprint for making it actually work inside your organization, week after week, without burning out your team or watering down your brand.

The guys introduce a simple but powerful system for scaling UGC. It starts with identifying your audience’s “moments of truth”—those authentic, in-the-wild experiences where they’re already doing something worth sharing. From there, it’s all about:

• Creating clear prompts that spark engagement

• Making it effortless for people to participate

• Closing the loop with recognition, next steps, and real community-building

But UGC isn’t just about volume. It’s about trust, and Roly & Richard make it clear that brands need smart guardrails—consent, moderation, accessibility, and simple editing workflows—to keep content usable, inclusive, and on-brand.

Forget vanity metrics. Roly & Richard challenges us to dig deeper and measure what actually moves the needle:

• Saves

• Replies

• Assisted conversions

• Applications

• Retention lift

These are the signals that prove UGC is more than a buzzword—it’s a business asset.

If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to launch UGC, Doug would say: the time is now. You don’t need a massive team or fancy tools. Start small. Test. Watch for signal. Then scale.

You’ll walk away from this episode with:

• A UGC quick-start plan any small team can run

• Guardrails that protect people and your brand

• A shift in perspective around what content is really for

Black Box Question: When faced with two equally qualified candidates, how do you determine who to hire? Richard and Roly share their personal experiences in this situation.

Our Perspective:
From an advertising agency perspective, hiring the right candidate when they are equally qualified presents unique challenges that extend beyond mere talent. In such scenarios, cultural fit becomes paramount; a candidate who resonates with the agency’s core values and mission is likely to foster a more cohesive and collaborative work environment. One must consider the candidate’s adaptability and openness to learning, ensuring they can thrive in the dynamic and fast-paced nature of the industry. Furthermore, interpersonal skills and the ability to communicate effectively within a team setting can significantly impact project outcomes and client satisfaction. Evaluating a candidate’s previous work experiences and how they handled past challenges can also provide insights into their problem-solving capabilities and resilience. Ultimately, the goal is to find a candidate who not only brings creative and technical prowess but also complements and enhances the agency’s culture and strategic objectives.

Richard and Roly sit down with Heather Frey of Smash Fit to discuss internal culture and how it can impact the overall brand.
