TikTok said that users of the platform can become so engaged and inspired by a marketing campaign, that they could create their own version of it. This can help brands to actually experience the impact their campaigns have on people.
TikTok said the platform could offer advertisers the opportunity “to flip traditional marketing on its head” while engaging with users who are at the forefront of the latest trends and movements.
“With the launch of TikTok For Business, we set out to embrace the creative, positive, and real moments that make our community so special with solutions for businesses to connect and grow with our wonderfully expressive community,” Puris said.
Meanwhile in another news, TikTok rival Mitron app crossed 1 crore downloads milestone in around 2 months. This is the same app that Google removed from Play Store. It was then added back on Google Play Store on June 5. The popular Mitron app reportedly has 4.5 rating on the store.
Earlier this month, it was reported that the Mitron app’s source code was purchased from a Pakistani developer. It came to light that the app was not developed by an IIT Roorkee student, and is a rebranded version of TicTic.
