If you’re unfamiliar with TikTok, people use a ‘different side of the app’ to get specific content, for example, foodtok, politicaltok, and businesstok – these are all popular sections on TikTok used to pair users' interests with specific kinds of videos. Your company can take advantage of this to generate leads and create new business opportunities. Videomarketing is going to play a huge role in upcoming marketing campaigns as it’s extremely engaging and hooks people into the content they are watching.
User-Generated Content
