What TikTok marketing services do we offer?

Strategy and competitor audit

We review your channel, content and competitors, then set the audience, content pillars and goals that will move sales.

Content creation

Our video, design and social team films and edits native TikTok content: product demos, trends, talking heads and UGC style.

Creator and influencer partnerships

We find creators your buyers trust, brief them and manage the whole partnership, from contracts to reporting.

TikTok ads and TikTok Shop

Spark Ads, In-Feed ads and conversion campaigns, plus TikTok Shop set-up. For MolarClean we launched TikTok Shop with conversion ads that returned ad spend from month one.

What are the benefits of TikTok marketing?

  • Reach new audiences fast, without a big following
  • Show products in use, which drives purchase
  • Encourage user-generated content
  • Win earned media, as journalists report on TikTok trends
  • Sell directly through TikTok Shop
  • Get found in TikTok search, where many younger buyers start

Why our content works on TikTok

We are an integrated agency, so the people making your videos also understand PR, paid media and brand. Short-form video and creators took Cheese Artistry UK from 77 to 2,289 Instagram followers in seven months, and our social launch for Ryry grew its following from 100 to 2,342 in five months.

How do we use TikTok trends?

Trends move fast. Through social listening we spot the sounds, formats and conversations that fit your brand, then turn content around in days, not weeks. We only join a trend when it suits you; a forced trend does more harm than none.

TikTok ads

Paid campaigns get content in front of the right people at a predictable cost. We choose the ad type for your goal, test creative in small batches, then scale what works and report cost per result. See our paid advertising service.

TikTok influencer marketing

The right creator builds trust faster than any ad. We vet creators for real audiences and brand fit, and agree clear deliverables. See our influencer marketing service.

How Primula’s summer went national through TikTok creators

Primula wanted a summer BBQ moment. We put TikTok-first creators at the heart of the campaign and backed them with PR. The result: 137 pieces of coverage, 43,000 engagements and a national listing in Morrisons.

How do we measure TikTok marketing?

We agree the numbers that matter before we start: views, engagement, followers, clicks, Shop sales or cost per result. You get monthly reporting that explains what worked and what we will change.

TikTok training and consulting

Our Latest Work

Why should brands invest in TikTok marketing?

TikTok is a search engine

Many younger buyers search TikTok for products and reviews before they use Google.

It earns media coverage

Journalists report on TikTok trends, so a strong idea can land in the press too.

It drives sales

TikTok Shop lets people buy without leaving the app.

Small accounts can win

The algorithm rewards good content, not just big followings.

Creators build trust

People believe creators they follow more than brand ads.

It feeds every channel

Short-form video can be reused on Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and paid social.

What types of TikTok content is there?

There’s a wide array of content that works well on TikTok – everything from brand takeovers, behind the scenes content, reacting to trends, and working with influencers – especially micro influencers and TikTok creators that have high engagement rates due to their smaller but more engaged audience – who they’re actively engaging and creating content for.

How long should TikTok content be?

TikTok’s content approach is different from other social platforms (hence why you need our help), longer form and more ‘serious’ content doesn’t work. The key to successful TikTok content is content that’s authentic, such as user-generated content.

The algorithm will favour a TikTok account that is regularly posting and creating videos that viewers are watching in full. And the more TikTok users watching your TikTok business profile content in full, the more TikTok is going to recommend your branded content to their feed.

So for instance, if a TikTok user is watching lots of beauty tutorials, the algorithm will take it as that user liking those videos and feed those videos into their feed. So, sometimes shorter videos, are better.

Who’s on TikTok?

There’s an assumption that TikTok is just for ‘young’ people, but this is wrong, there’s lots of older generations using it.

Statista research shows that GenZ audiences are the biggest users (25%), but age groups up 30 – 49 are just slightly behind (by 5% percent).

This means we can tap into TikTok audiences of all ages, even ages that may not be your usual audience and inspire them to shop with you.

Should I integrate TikTok with my wider marketing campaigns?

Even though when executed correctly, videos can go viral in minutes and achieve thousands of views, as with any channel it should not operate solo.

True success comes from properly integrating its use with your wider marketing efforts, in turn delivering genuine campaign cut-through and ROI. Here are just some of the ways it can help:

  1. TikTok influencer campaigns – influencers are one of the most trusted forms of advertising, so when paired with your TikTok campaigns they create even more relevance with your audience.
  2. Paid media – reach a targeted audience through certain audience types, behaviours, or re-engage audiences, making it one of the most cost effective marketing channels.
  3. Public relations – add another layer to your outreach or even get in the press yourselves through a viral campaign.
  4. Social advertising – content can be repurposed for other platforms’ and website content, not all of your target audience will be on the same channel.

We can manage all of this in-house, through our tried and tested integrated services. We’re a TikTok influencer marketing agency, TikTok creative production agency, and TikTok ads agency – all in one. We can match all areas of your marketing activity for greater brand visibility, from your influencer marketing efforts, to branded content creation, to your comms strategy.
