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.

Want to run TikTok in-house? We train teams in short-form content, creative strategy and paid media. See our social media training.

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?
How long should TikTok content be?
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?
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?
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- Public relations – add another layer to your outreach or even get in the press yourselves through a viral campaign.
- 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.
