Join Our UGC Creator Community at Lake Oconee Life
Love capturing content around Lake Oconee? Passionate about sharing hidden gems, great food, local businesses, and unforgettable experiences? Then you might be the perfect fit for The Insiders — our UGC Creator program designed to elevate both local businesses and talented creators like you.
What Is a Lake Oconee Life Insider?
The Insiders are a select group of local lifestyle creators who help us bring the Lake Oconee area to life through authentic, engaging content. From highlighting new restaurants to showing off community events or local services, our Insiders capture the magic of life around the lake and connect it to the audiences who crave it.
As a Lake Oconee Life Insider, you’ll work alongside our team to create short-form videos, reels, photography, and more for featured businesses and local campaigns — all while growing your own brand and will receive amazing perks for doing what you love.
What You’ll Do.
As an Insider, you'll be assigned to local businesses for campaign-style content creation. Here’s what it typically looks like:
✓ Capture behind-the-scenes or lifestyle content for local shops, restaurants, and events
✓ Create a set number of reels, photos, and raw footage per campaign
✓ Help businesses show up more powerfully on social media
✓ Collaborate with our marketing team to bring each story to life
You don’t have to be a professional influencer — just someone who loves where you live and can create content with heart, style, and a smartphone.
