Unless you’ve lived under a rock for the past few years, you’ve probably heard about the TikTok phenomenon.

But translating that into killer content for your business is another beast. That’s where True comes in. We can help you develop a social media marketing strategy highly targeted to your ideal customer by creating visual content that will stop your audience in their scroll. And here’s how.

“TikTok has more than 1.2 billion users worldwide, with Gen Z making up the largest portion.”
TikTok on top.
Let’s start with why TikTok is so important to a modern digital marketing strategy…
Tiktok has more than 1.2 billion users worldwide, with Gen Z making up the largest portion (half of its users are between 16 and 24 years old). Its snappy, short-form video format allows the user to create eye-catching content built for mobile devices.
Some believed TikTok to be ‘just another Vine’. But Vine’s 6-second video limit came with equally limited potential. Enter TikTok and its 15-second and 60-second duration. More time means more scope to get your message out to the world.

How does TikTok help you connect to your audience?
Gen Z (the TikTok target market) uses the platform as a place to connect to their community through video; engagement rates are higher than any other social media platform. If you want to connect with your audience, you’ve found the place to do it.
TikTok provides tools for producing, editing and enhancing seemingly endless fresh material. You don’t have to count yourself a video editing pro to create on-brand content, and that’s won TikTok serious bonus points, whether you’re a sole trader just starting out or a large-firm marketing department creating viral campaigns.
Despite its young marketing skew, TikTok marketing is beneficial to all industries and ages. It’s built with a unique algorithm which means every video posted had an equal chance of going viral – yours included.
