TikTok advertising

TikTok punishes repurposed advertising more than any other platform. Content made for television or for Instagram is recognised and skipped in the first second. It rewards work made natively, and that is the only way it is run here.

The work

What TikTok advertising involves

Made for the platform, not adapted to it

Vertical, sound on, a hook in the first second, and a pace that matches what sits around it. Production is specific to TikTok, including creator led formats, rather than recutting an existing asset and hoping.

Volume of creative, not volume of targeting

Performance here comes from testing many pieces of creative quickly and putting budget behind the few that hold attention. The audience tools matter far less than they do elsewhere, and over targeting actively hurts.

Knowing whether your customers are there

The audience is broader than its reputation but it is not everybody. The first step is looking at what you sell, and if the answer is no, you will be told, which is a common and reasonable outcome.

Tracking and attribution

The pixel and the events API are installed, and direct and branded search traffic is checked while campaigns run, because last click reporting understates this channel consistently.
