Masterhooks vs. Cohley – Enterprise UGC: Which Agency Wins?

5 min

read

Agencies have emerged to help enterprise brands overcome these bottlenecks. Including Cohley and Masterhooks, which dominate a significant portion of the market. 

Both operate at the enterprise level, but deal with entirely different issues.

Here is the comprehensive breakdown of how they compare, and which solution wins for enterprise growth:

Cohley is fundamentally a robust content generation platform. 

It is designed for mid-sized and enterprise brands that need a central place to manage different types of content and customer interactions. 

Brands can create UGC videos, product photos, and written reviews all in one platform. It also helps manage creator payments, ensure compliance, and organize large content libraries for internal teams.

Masterhooks functions as a full-service creative production team

Instead of offering a platform to manage content, Masterhooks works as an end-to-end creative team focusing mainly on direct-response video. 

They put all their effort into creating high-retention videos designed to lower Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) on Meta and TikTok.

On Cohley, the platform uses AI to match brands with creators and allows direct communication. 

However, the main creative work still depends on the brand’s internal team. If the brief is weak, the content will likely underperform, no matter how good the platform is.

Masterhooks addresses this by pairing creators with structured scripting frameworks and in-house editorial direction.

Instead of simply asking creators to talk about a product, they guide them with clear, high-converting scripts. The final result is a fully edited, ad-ready video with fast pacing and native text, built to perform well on the algorithm.


To keep up with ever-evolving trends, enterprise brands need comprehensive support.

Enterprise brands shouldn’t have to spend millions of dollars just on something that’s merely an “afterthought” for their internal marketing team. Here is a quick breakdown to help you compare which one is the best for your needs:

  • Choose Cohley if: Your enterprise needs an all-in-one software tool to scale professional photography, manage text reviews for retail partners (like Target or Amazon), and build an internal content library, and you already have a massive in-house creative team to write the briefs.

  • Choose Masterhooks if: Your enterprise is bleeding budget on paid social ads and needs a dedicated conversion engine. If your primary goal is to drive direct sales through high-performing video without adding administrative software work to your team's plate, Masterhooks is the definitive winner.
