TikTok Marketing Playbook

If 2020 has taught us anything about social media, it’s that TikTok is a force to be reckoned with: the short-form video app has exploded in popularity. According to TikTok, the platform has over 560M global monthly users, of whom 77% are under 34, 43% do not use Instagram, and 45% do not use Facebook.
