Mr. Zhang Yiming the man behind the TikTok, REVOLUTION, as we may call it has to say,
“ We must adapt to the industry’s changes. In the content industry, texts and pictures have evolved into videos, and content is increasingly generated by users. Many of our changes are in response to what today’s users need.”
We could not agree more with his idea. As today, TikTok marketing and advertising is a tool and has made a place in the list of principles of digital marketing.
TikTok in its early years was considered to be a mere lip-syncing platform wherein you could act on pre-loaded audio. However, today it is one of the major platforms you can possibly think of wherein you can go bold with your creativity and imagination. Thus giving a tremendous outbreak of what we call creative and out-of-the-box marketing campaigns.
This app is in harmony with Generation Z, a generation that proves to be the new market target! While the younger generation seems to have already adapted to this century’s buzz, we recommend all trades to find their path to TikTok!
Make your seconds worth it!
