Is it worth advertising your business on TikTok?

TikTok is one of, if not the most, immersive social media platforms currently on the market. For those who haven’t yet tried TikTok, there are two important things to know: it’s a fast-paced video-sharing platform, and generation Z – or those aged between 13 and 24 years old – serve as its primary audience. 

If you’re keen to add TikTok advertising to your marketing strategy, even if you think your business might not be a good fit just yet, we can help you. Our Social Media Consultant, Becca, is an expert in all things TikTok, having spoken at a number of industry conferences across the UK on TikTok advertising, including BrightonSEO, Digital Women and Sharing Social London.
