MAD//Fest 2022 Keynote Presentation: “TikTok Advertising Cuts Through”

  • The digital space is becoming more and more crowded, making it harder than ever for brands to grab attention and to build deeper connections.
  • However, TikTok’s fundamentals are designed to cut through. TikTok users have longer fixation on ads.
  • As a result, users notice products in ads faster, and products get noticed by more users.
  • But TikTok doesn’t just cut through.
  • Attention to products & brands on TikTok uniquely drives results for TikTok. And so, brands on TikTok are more liked resulting in increased brand favorability.

Quirk’s 2021 | London

Quirk’s 2021 Keynote Presentation: “What makes TikTok audiences tick?”

  • Mind-set over age: findings show that categorizing TikTok audience by intent tends to be far more effective than traditional demographic segmentation. The research identifies four mind-sets that set the platform apart from others: entertain, participate, uplift and discover.
  • Entertainment first: Two-thirds of people using TikTok do it to be entertained, enforcing the need for marketing strategies that focus on content first and foremost.
  • Call to action matters: Participating and showing up is hugely important for those on TikTok and the majority of people in that mind-set respond positively to branded content – explaining the success of recent creative campaigns by Revolution, Sage and ASOS.
  • Ultimately, this research shows that defining a target based around mind-set rather than a demographic, and understanding what the user is truly looking for, will lead to a deeper understanding and more meaningful interaction with customers.
