Tiktok Advertising
What is TikTok Advertising? A Guide to Reaching Gen Z and High Engagement
TikTok Advertising is the video-based advertising system on the world's fastest-growing social media platform, enabling you to reach millions of users in an entertainment and discovery-focused environment. Due to how quickly users consume and share content, TikTok has the highest viral potential of any platform.
Reaching an audience that is tired of traditional ads and seeks authenticity requires adapting to TikTok's fast and native flow. A successful TikTok ad feels less like an advertisement and more like entertaining, creative content. At Inside Media, we ensure your brand not only appears on TikTok but is organically adopted by speaking the platform's language.
Main TikTok Ad Formats and Their Objectives
Here are the unique ad types you can use based on your main campaign goals on TikTok:
-
In-Feed Video Ads: Vertical videos, up to 60 seconds, that appear between organic videos in the user's "For You" feed. This is the format that drives the most conversions and traffic.
-
TopView Ads: Ads that appear full-screen at the very top when the user opens the app. Ideal for maximum awareness and instantly grabbing attention.
-
Branded Hashtag Challenge: Campaigns that encourage users to create videos using a brand-defined hashtag, providing immense interaction and high organic reach.
-
Branded Effects: Creating custom filters or stickers for the brand, allowing users to incorporate the brand into their own content.
Strategic Steps for a Successful TikTok Campaign
Success on TikTok depends heavily on the creative strategy applied, rather than just the budget spent:
-
1. Sound-On Experience: 88% of TikTok is watched with the sound on. Music, sound effects, and voiceovers are critical to an ad's success.
-
2. The 3-Second Rule: To stop the user from swiping, the first 3 seconds of the video must pique curiosity or directly address the topic.
-
3. Vertical and Authentic Design: Vertical and native-looking content, often shot on a phone, performs better than horizontal, high-production cinematic formats.
-
4. Conversion Tracking: Accurately set up the TikTok Pixel to track conversions like sales, registrations, or downloads completely.
