SmartFocus has released a User Generated Content solution to their Message Cloud cross-channel marketing platform. Called Smart Content, brands can source content from social and other source, for instance, created by brand advocates or in social contests. The platform then allows to publish this content to the channel(s) of choice.
Here is a snazzy video that explains how it works:
Smart Content functionality
Smart Content helps brand marketers (automatically) find, create and publish User Generated Content. This should let brand create a different type of personalised email campaign. USG can be deployed in real-time along with branded content.
Smart Content and User Generated Content (UGC) in email will let marketers:
• Add personalized social content into their email campaigns
