On Wednesday 18th November, our expert marketing panel hosted the next episode in our digital masterclass series: ‘How to use TikTok to supercharge your brand’.
The masterclass helped attendees to understand TikTok, its audiences, the opportunities it presents to their businesses & how they can take advantage of this early growth phase. We analysed who is using the platform, how they are using it, the content they consume, the advertising opportunity and ultimately how to measure success.
We’ve rounded up some of the key takeaways into this blog. If you want to watch an on-demand recording of the masterclass, we’ve embedded the YouTube video below.
