NewSpark

Features / UGC & Gamification

Turn community stories into a real content pipeline.

Contests, hashtag campaigns, and citizen-journalism submissions all generate content faster than most teams can review it. NewSpark collects it, monitors it across social, and routes it through moderation before anything gets published.

Monitor social, don't just wait for uploads

SocialHub watches hashtags and keywords across the networks your community actually uses, and surfaces matches for review — you're not relying on people to find your submission form.

Built for scale, without losing control

⚡ Structured moderation queues

Every submission — whether it came from a hashtag search, a contest form, or a direct upload — goes through the same review workflow before it's approved.

🗳️ Multi-level review

Judge review and public voting can run side by side, with a full audit trail of who approved what and when.

🛡️ Rights & royalty tracking

Document consent and usage rights at submission time, and track ongoing performance royalties for content you keep using.

🌎 National-scale volume

Proven at 14,500+ submissions collected in a single national contest — see the case study below.
