The solution
Spark Ads and Video Shopping Ads for Black Friday Success
Bellamianta’s Black Friday campaign ran from November 1st to December 5th, targeting a female UK-based audience aged between 18 and 55 years old.
For this campaign during key shopping season, the cosmetics brand opted to utilise Spark Ads and Video Shopping Ads via TikTok Shop, both of which feature native integration that appears seamlessly on users’ For-You-Pages.
With TikTok-native content, Bellamianta promoted their best-selling products through a mix of creator-generated content, in-house creatives, and popular TikTok trends and sounds. They partnered with top creators to introduce their products to new audiences, while also producing their own content to ride the latest trends.
To find the right partners, Bellamianta sought out top-performing creators in similar niches through organic search, PR lists, and recommendations from their TikTok Account Managers. By collaborating with these creators, they leveraged user-generated content and expanded their reach to a broader audience through the creators' followers.
