Especially if you’re trying to get your message through to the younger generations of Millennials and Generation Z, you might consider using the wildly popular and widely downloaded app TikTok as a platform for your advertising efforts.
Although TikTok advertisements are still in their infancy, the platform’s self-serve nature makes them accessible to a wide variety of companies.
In 2022, who should be spending their advertising dollars on TikTok?
TikTok is a great place for anyone trying to reach a younger demographic to run ads.
It used to be that only teenagers used TikTok, but now everyone may use it. Important data about TikTok users is as follows:
In the United States, users between the ages of 10 and 22 make up a quarter of the total.
Around 4% of the population falls in the ages 20–29. The percentage of users older than 50 is only 11 percent.
The vast majority of the population, even if they don’t use TikTok themselves, has a positive impression of the app.
More than 60% of monthly active users in the US are women.
Categories of Videos on TikTok
TikTok offers marketers a number of unique ad options to choose from. Let’s dissect each one individually.
The Top View advertisements will be displayed at the very top of the user’s news feed. When they launch the app, it plays immediately.
This format is ideal for eye-catching brand awareness initiatives because of its high level of exposure.
Advertisements in this style have a 67% better sales effectiveness than other varieties, as reported by TikTok.
Advertising that appear in the feed
When consumers peruse their For You feeds, they are subjected to these commercials. There are full-screen commercials playing in the background of regular programming. If you make your ad entertaining and interesting, it may garner as much attention as popular organic content because your audience is already in the habit of viewing videos.
This approach is often used in TikTok commercials.
Commercial Use of Twitter’s Hashtag System
Popular options include both generic hashtag ads and branded hashtag ads. They’re intended to get people talking about your company on the platform by issuing a TikTok challenge with the emphasis on your designated hashtag.

It’s possible that these advertisements are particularly effective in raising awareness of a brand and inspiring users to create original content for the platform itself.
Effective Brand Marketing
Similar to filter advertisements on other platforms, the Branded Effect Ads serve to promote a product or service. A branded augmented reality “effect” that consumers may use on their own films is developed by the brands.

Another campaign has the potential to increase participation, brand recognition, and user-created content. In most cases, the goal of such initiatives is to raise people’s level of awareness (rather than traffic or conversions).
Produce commercials
The relatively new Spark Advertising format enables marketers to make use of user-generated content and organic sources of information. In this respect, they are analogous to “boosted” postings on other services. You may either invest in your own organic content or, with permission, user-generated material to drive advertising.
Users who click on these adverts will be sent to either your account page or an external landing page.
Conclusions on TikTok Ads
Unexpected businesses are finding a way to engage with the young, artistic community that thrives on TikTok. They accomplish this by strategically combining their sponsored TikTok posts with a consistent flow of unpaid material.
This app’s success should serve as a warning to other companies: join the party. Don’t waste your channel’s potential by not posting anything that might interest those who use the TikTok app. If your sponsored ad is successful in attracting a large audience, you want to ensure that they have a compelling incentive to become loyal followers of your business.
