The Art of TikTok

On Thursday, May 12th we held “The Art of TikTok”, a multi-speaker event introducing our clients and partners to the strategic potential of TikTok. Joined by exclusive speakers from TikTok and two of the biggest content creators in Greece, we deep dived into what it takes to create a winning TikTok strategy. Looking at real-world TikTok success stories, including our agency’s own viral moment on TikTok, we explored how brands are using TikTok to reach brand new audiences.

 

global success


TikTok is a burgeoning global video app, which launched to global markets in 2017 and amassed 1.1 billion active global users by early 2021. The app’s stratospheric growth has been attributed to a number of factors, including the pandemic-induced lockdown, which accelerated its rise in the first quarter of 2020 (during which the app was downloaded 315m times). A number of factors differentiate it from other social media platforms and can be said to have contributed to TikTok’s rapid success. The most compelling and persistent reason for its rapid growth remains the nature of its short video-format, which resonates with today’s viewers. As one article in the Economist titled, “TikTok’s rapid growth shows the potency of video” claimed: “TikTok’s rapid rise demonstrates a clear preference among social-media users for video content.”

During “The Art of TikTok” we delved into TikTok’s popularity and what makes the platform so successful on a global and national level.
