If you haven’t been paying attention to TikTok, you haven’t been paying attention. Despite its rapid rise, there are still plenty of people — often, older people — who aren’t quite sure what TikTok is.
What is TikTok? TikTok is often referred to as a “lip-syncing” app, which makes it sound like it’s some online karaoke experience. But a closer comparison would be Vine, Twitter’s still sorely missed short-form video app whose content lives on as YouTube compilations.
Is Your Audience on TikTok?
The largest demographic of TikTok users is between the ages of 16 and 24. But if you think TikTok is just a fad for Generation Z, think again. Since its inception in 2018, TikTok has evolved from a video-creation app solely meant for users to express their creativity to a marketing and advertising haven.
You’ve likely seen the ways brands use Instagram to engage with consumers through posts, stories, live videos, and IGTV. TikTok allows brands to engage with users through video, only in shorter, bite-sized clips. In the last 12 months, brands have created accounts on the platform to explore and engage with consumers. On Tiktok, you can find everyone from influencers and celebrities to politicians and the average Joe.
The allure of TikTok for businesses is the sheer number of active users on the platform. It’s still unclear exactly how the algorithm works but it seems to be much easier for your video content to go viral on TikTok than on other social media platforms.
TikTok For Business is where you can unleash your company brand’s creative side. A fully immersive no judgement world where there’s an audience for every voice.
