Episode 320: Why You Should Use TikTok For Your Business with Max Finn

Episode

With over 1 billion active monthly users (and counting), we know that TikTok is blowing up. 

Despite the threat of it potentially being banned in the US, it doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere anytime soon.

How can your business embrace TikTok as a social media platform to connect with your audience? 

Max Finn is the President of Unicorn Innovations and TDM’s TikTok expert for our new Social Media Certification. 

Max is sharing insight on why it’s not too late to get on TikTok with your ad content, especially if your marketing strategy can be in conjunction with your other social media content on more established platforms like Facebook. 

Why is the ROI on time to create effective TikTok ad content so worthwhile? 

Why should marketers be seeing the ‘kids’ on TikTok as the next generation of consumers with buying power? And why do you need to be on the platform as a consumer yourself before you can just start creating ad content on it?  

These are just some of the meaty issues Max and Mark De Grasse bite into (or should that be: ByteDance their way around?). 

From what you should do with your first three posts (that get boosted by TikTok) to unpacking the latest trends, Max’s pragmatic advice opens up a world of TikTok ad content possibilities.
