7/10

An essential network for reaching young audiences with native content, where organic reach is still possible, provided you adopt its codes.

TikTok is the short-video social network that redefined the codes of social content, with a fearsomely effective recommendation algorithm. Free for creators and brands, it offers still-possible organic reach and a full-fledged advertising platform, TikTok Ads.

What is TikTok used for by a business?

A brand creates a free account to publish videos, grow a community and ride trends, with organic reach higher than more mature networks. The paid layer, TikTok Ads, runs targeted video ads, including Spark Ads formats that amplify existing content.

TikTok or another network?

TikTok excels with young audiences and native creative content, where Instagram and Facebook reach broader, more varied audiences. For a brand targeting under-35s, TikTok is hard to ignore. The tone must be native, not advertorial.

How much does TikTok cost?

The account and posting are free. Advertising via TikTok Ads is paid on auction, per click, impression or action, with a freely defined budget but often a recommended daily minimum per campaign.
