Creative Tip 01
Stimulate their senses through clever transitions and effects
Needless to say, video ads need to be visually appealing to draw users in and keep them engaged. Thankfully, on TikTok, this doesn’t require a massive budget. Leverage our suite of visual effects, and ensure that it’s synced to sound. Brands looking to differentiate themselves should lean on #transition (56.2B views)1 to showcase clever, dynamic ways to tell their story. Common transitions include covering/uncovering the camera, and still camera positioning with changing object. Get creative with editing and in-app camera tricks, and watch it pay off!
Creative Tip 02
Re-imagine all the possibilities
A story can be told in a million ways. TikTok’s community loves to break convention and remix or re-enact stories in unique ways. This way, a proven trend or high-performing original can still inspire new content down the line. Elevate your original idea to ensure recognition, but give it a twist and watch how powerful it can be. Consider musical remixes or non-musical adaptations on tv shows or movies. Remember that TikTok is cross-generational, so content that’s relatable across different ages is more likely to win.
