TikTok Social Media Marketing
There are a few ways of marketing on the TikTok platform, which include in-feed ads, brand takeovers, branded hashtag challenges, and branded effects.
In-feed Ads
In-feed ads allow a lot of room for creativity, as they are the standard ad format that TikTok uses. They allow users to embed their video ads to play on their target audiences ‘for you’ page. It allows viewers/users of TikTok to like, share, follow and shoot videos with the same sound that has been used in the advert. This, therefore, promotes a product or brand even more.
Brand Takeovers
Brand takeover ads appear as soon as a user opens up the app. The video can be linked to a brand’s landing page or a hashtag challenge they have created. Branded takeover ads are expensive but they are effective and do gain audiences attention. They also eliminate competition as only one branded ad per day is shown to users of TikTok will see only brand’s ad when they open the app for a whole 24 hours.
Branded Hashtag
The branded hashtag challenges build awareness for a brand mainly through user-generated content, they do this by asking people to perform a certain task and tag them using a specific hashtag. Users click on the hashtag to the branded landing page. This type of ad is a fun and creative way to express personality as well as promote a brand. It also creates a valuable relationship between the brand and the audience.
Branded Effects
Branded effects are similar to what is on snapchat, brands create or purchase an effect that users can use as a filter/overlay on their face in their videos. These allow brands to create effects with their own brand logos and other branding elements. They are also created for encouraging audience participation as it is fun for the users and consequently benefits the brand.
