The world of TikTok is unlike any other.
On the short-form video app, anyone has the opportunity to go viral through engaging content, regardless of their follower count. Unlike YouTube videos, TikToks are less produced and often shot directly in the app, attracting user demographics that now span far beyond Gen Z.
Because the platform’s landscape is so different, brands looking to succeed on TikTok must harness the power of its creators, who are in tune with the fast-paced trends on the app and have experience creating engaging content to participate in these moments. Co-creating content with TikTok creators is the best way to inject personality into your campaigns and tell an authentic story around your brand in a way that resonates with the TikTok community.
