GOAL

Beset by the pandemic and its theater closures, Orion sought a path to success for its long-awaited franchise film, Bill & Ted Face the Music. Toward that end, they needed to promote their film to the widest audience possible to maximize PVOD streams, and in turn profits, which would rely on deploying an effective marketing media mix. A relatively new concept, PVOD still had a veil of mystery around it, having really only seen a handful of successes in 2020, such as Trolls World Tour. Operam sought to achieve two main goals:

Lift awareness with key audiences

Create a viral event that generates engagement and interactions with the movie

PROCESS

With a majority of Generation Z and Millennials using TikTok, Operam knew this was the platform to build interest with key audiences in the younger demographic.
The hypothesis was developed to create a holistic plan around three key tactics on the platform to accomplish the goal of creating urgency, interest, and engagement with audiences. Use short form content for massive in-feed video push; Utilize national promotional opportunities such as Hashtag Challenges and Brand Takeovers to garner awareness from broad younger audiences closer to release.

RESULTS

#ShredWithBillAndTed Hashtag Challenge to date has generated 4.2 billion views. This was the most successful TikTok Hashtag Challenge to date (as of August 2021). Addam’s family had 250M views to Bill and Ted’s 4.2 Billion views.

TikTik Ads FAQ

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.
