with almost as many articles trying to

00:02

describe what a tick-tock is as there

00:04

are posts on the platform tick-tock

00:06

remains an enigma for those not already

00:08

in the know so how do you build an

00:10

advertising campaign on the platform

00:12

without resorting to magic tricks tik

toks roughly 30 million active monthly

00:20

users in the US pales in comparison to

00:23

the over 100 million active users on

00:25

Instagram but tik-tok offers a unique

00:27

opportunity this is Katy Groody research

00:30

principle for beauty at Gartner for

00:32

marketers Gen Z represents roughly a

00:35

quarter of the US population and has

00:37

estimated purchasing power at forty four

00:39

billion dollars over two-thirds of users

00:41

on Tik Tok fall between the ages of 16

00:44

and 24 so this is really allowing brands

00:46

to reach a younger demographic despite

00:48

this opportunity only 10% of brands

00:51

tracked in our digital IQ index Beauty

00:53

us have tik-tok accounts

00:55

unlike Instagram where we see highly

well that doesn't necessarily translate

01:00

to tick-tock instead content on

01:03

tick-tock has more of a homemade feel

01:05

and allows users to put their own

01:06

creative spin on it and that same desire

01:08

for authenticity directly impacts

01:11

purchase decision but what is tick tock

01:26

challenge which topped into the popular

01:28

lip-sync Chandra on tick-tock elf

01:31

cosmetics created their own song and

01:32

sponsored a hashtag on the platform

01:34

allowing users to participate in the

01:36

challenge the hashtag generated over 3

01:39

billion views within its first month and

01:41

in the same time period net sales for

elf cosmetics rose by 6 percent

the song became a hit in its own right

01:47

entering the charts on Spotify the music

01:50

video for the song generated millions of

01:52

views on YouTube so what can brands

01:55

learn from elf content is not

01:57

transferable so what works on other

01:58

social platforms like Instagram isn't

02:00

necessarily going to work on tick-tock

02:02

instead scaled awareness comes from

participation and creating open-ended
