TikTok has quickly become a social media giant and a phenomenon of our time. Its ability to easily integrate music into content, along with simple video editing and processing, attracts more and more users, surpassing one billion active users. Starting August 1st, this social network will have an even greater impact as it will enable advertising within the platform in Croatia.
While we have already seen paid ads and partnerships on TikTok, this is the first time brands in Croatia will be able to place their ads directly to users. Advertising on TikTok has so far been significantly different from platforms like Instagram. TikTok is primarily a video content platform, with many readily available video editing tools, which requires a higher level of creativity from creators for paid partnerships.
TikTok ads include: In-Feed, TopView, Branded Hashtag Challenges, Branded Effects, Branded Takeovers, Spark Ads, Collection Ads, and Dynamic Showcase Ads. Each type of ad has its own specifics and advantages, with Branded Hashtag Challenges and Branded Effects being particularly interesting. These two types of ads are best suited to the platform’s specifics. On TikTok, perhaps more than any other network, we can see the influence of trends and their power. Branded Hashtag Challenge is a good choice as it combines the platform’s organic activity (trends, challenges) with branding. Similarly, Branded Effects work by creating a branded filter or effect that users eagerly use.
How successful advertising on TikTok will be is hard to say, as the lesser amount of paid content was one of the reasons many users and creators moved from Instagram to TikTok. As with any form of advertising, it will be necessary to find a way to present ads to users organically, respecting the platform’s rules and usage style. Brands that succeed in this first will “reap the rewards.” In any case, we look forward to seeing new creative formats and trying out the new possibilities that advertising on this platform offers.
