JoinBrands Case Study · Harbor Creek

One content pipeline for paid ads and Amazon PDPs

Harbor Creek built a dual-use UGC pipeline on JoinBrands - every piece works in the paid rotation and on the product page.

The challenge

Two content streams meant twice the workload

Harbor Creek runs paid social across TikTok, TikTok Shop, YouTube, and Amazon - with Amazon PDPs as the conversion endpoint.

Sourcing UGC for paid ads and PDP content as separate workstreams doubled the workload, and traditional product photography was quietly being outperformed by authentic UGC on every channel that mattered.

The strategy

Three moves that consolidated the content stack

  • ( 01 )

    One brief, two use cases

    JoinBrands became the single source of dual-use content - every UGC piece feeds both the ad rotation and Amazon listing content, from the same brief.

  • ( 02 )

    Parallel creators, faster angle testing

    Multiple creators per campaign meant more angles tested in parallel - and faster identification of what resonated before the momentum plateaued.

  • ( 03 )

    Retired traditional product photography where UGC won

    On the channels where UGC outperformed traditional shoots, the team stopped commissioning polished product photography and reinvested that budget into more creator variants.

We were able to generate a steady pipeline of UGC that could be reused across paid ads and PDP content. This helped test different creative angles faster and improve overall ad performance.
