TikTok has evolved from a Gen Z entertainment app to a powerful advertising platform. Learn how to create campaigns that resonate with TikTok users.
TikTok advertising requires a different mindset than traditional social platforms. Success comes from understanding the platform culture and creating authentic, entertaining content.
Understanding TikTok Culture
TikTok users value authenticity and entertainment over polished brand messages. Ads that feel too corporate get scrolled past immediately. Embrace trending sounds, participate in challenges, and show personality.
TikTok Ad Formats
In-Feed Ads appear in user feeds and can be up to 60 seconds. TopView ads appear when users open the app—prime real estate but at premium cost. Spark Ads let you boost organic content that already resonates.
