Over the past year, TikTok has secured its place as one of the most powerful advertising channels available to marketers. On the platform, ads play a unique role, seeking to integrate within the platform’s creative, community-minded spirit. This has resonated with audiences who have ranked TikTok number one when it comes to ad equity for the second year running.
Due to this, TikTok is making a strong case for a significant allocation of media investment, and marketers seem to be in agreement, with 3 out of every 4 stating they will be increasing their TikTok spend in 2022.
So, what will this look like? Where will this increased media spend be utilized?
Well, this will of course depend on a brand-by-brand basis, however, our prediction would be that in 2022, TikTok In-Feed Ads will get the most attention, becoming a staple format for many in their media mixes.
Appearing within TikToker’s For You pages, In-Feed Ads are full-screen, sound-on vertical videos up to 60-seconds in duration that include a prominent CTA button that can be utilized for various objectives.
