Do you have to be running TikTok Ads to scale your brand?
Introduction
TikTok ads have gained immense popularity, generating buzz on social media platforms such as TikTok itself and Instagram. Given the trend, it might seem like leveraging TikTok ads is essential for anyone looking to grow their brand. However, while I am a strong advocate for TikTok ads and truly appreciate the platform, it's important to understand that success in advertising does not solely hinge on being present on every emerging platform.
Take, for example, a beauty brand we partnered with back in February. Our strategy involved initiating their ad campaigns across TikTok, Facebook, and Google Ads. Initially, Facebook and Google Ads delivered profitable returns, whereas TikTok ads hovered around the breakeven point. When discussing their budget with the brand, they expressed how they lacked spare cash for ad spend and wanted to ensure every dollar was allocated effectively to the platforms where they received the best impact.
In a strategic pivot, we decided to withdraw their ad spend from TikTok and reinvest those funds into their Facebook and Google campaigns. This adjustment proved to be a game changer, allowing us to double their revenue within just a few months of collaboration.
Ultimately, the lesson here is clear: it's not simply about being on the newest advertising platform. Brands must focus on identifying and capitalizing on opportunities that resonate with their unique needs and goals. By doing so, they can achieve sustainable growth and success.
