What is TikTok Advertising?
TikTok Advertising uses an automated auction-based system to serve paid media to your target audience. To achieve maximum return on ad spend (ROAS), you can choose from a variety of bidding methods—ranging from cost per click (CPC) to optimized cost per thousand impressions (oCPM).
A successful TikTok media strategy incorporates these ad formats:
- TopView Ads: Use a full-screen format to drive engagement and clicks across up to 60 seconds of video content that displays after users open the TikTok app.
- In-Feed Ads: Integrate branded content into the personalized For You page and use multiple calls-to-action to maximize website traffic, app installs, or online sales.
- Branded Effects Ads: Design sharable stickers, filters, and other special effects to create interactive branded environments on TikTok.
- Branded Hashtag Challenges: Invite users to create content around your campaign theme and expand reach by partnering with TikTok creators in your vertical.
Who should use TikTok?
Do you want to generate buzz with Millennials and Gen Zers? TikTok Advertising is a smart choice. More than 60% of TikTokers are under 30 years old and spend nearly an hour using the app every day.
TikTok can support a full-funnel advertising strategy—but your media plan certainly doesn’t have to stop with this platform. With a holistic media plan, you can reach your target audience across channels and attribute results accurately.
