TikTok celebrates storytellers. Since launching the TikTok For Business platform in Australia and New Zealand we have witnessed the positive impact that creativity and storytelling from brands has on the TikTok community.
On TikTok, brands have the opportunity to create meaningful content that speaks to the community and invites them in to join a conversation. And what's truly unique is that advertisers can place their brand at the forefront of innovative storytelling and creative content to connect to audiences in ways they can't elsewhere.
TikTok's new TikTok For Business Ads Manager is a significant milestone in the evolution of TikTok For Business in New Zealand. This self-service advertising platform - which does exactly this - is designed for Small and Mid-size Businesses (SMBs). It is seamless, easy and efficient for brands to meaningfully connect with the TikTok community and make a lasting impact.
It's important that Kiwi businesses can easily tap into the creativity of our diverse community, reach new audiences and optimise marketing campaigns within an easy-to-use platform. Think of the self-serve advertising platform as a one-stop shop for SMBs to create, promote and connect with the vibrant TikTok community.
In addition to this, life is now made even easier for small businesses as TikTok partners with Shopify. This collaboration means Kiwi Shopify entrepreneurs can create TikTok ads and track results all without leaving the Shopify dashboard.
Brands are an important part of the TikTok experience, and it is evident that the TikTok community loves connecting with the brands they're passionate about.
In a recent study, 88% of TikTok users said that they discover new content that they enjoy while using the app, and about half of users said they discover new products through advertisements posted by a product or brand*.
