Why advertise on TikTok?

Social media advertising is one of the most effective ways of getting in front of customers, and TikTok is quickly taking up a considerable share of the market. The company expects to earn $500 million this year, with advertisements being a chief factor. 

Although teenagers make up a sizeable portion of the app’s user base, many Millenials and Gen Xers use the app daily. Research by Adobe found that advertising to Millennials on social media is more effective than any other channel. TikTok users spend nearly an hour a day on the app, and companies are all capitalizing on this market.
