About TikTok Smart Tag

If you are a TikTok Creative Service Provider or Marketing Partner, you must tag your creative assets with TikTok Smart Tag before sending them to your client. Tagging your creative assets lets TikTok identify you or your company as the creator of the asset, which is needed to obtain the advertiser's consent to share ad performance data with you.


Who Can Use TikTok Smart Tag

There are two types of vendors that will need to use Smart Tag:

  • ​Creative Service Providers – any vendor that provides creative services including content planning, creative ideation and content production, creator services, AR development, campaign management, creative analysis, reporting, etc. to advertisers participating in a TikTok-initiated program.

  • TikTok Marketing Partners – any creative service provider who is a part of the TikTok Marketing Partners Program.
