The TikTok rush and hype have passed, now is the time to ask yourself: "What can TikTok actually bring to my Digital Strategy?"
We answer in this Vanksen white paper.
4. Let's firstly go back to the origin of TikTok: its merger with Musical.ly
01 / TIKTOK’S XXL PERFORMANCE
4
/ TikTok is a video-sharing mobile application, launched in
2016 by the Chinese company ByteDance.
/ In 2018, TikTok merges with Musical.ly, an app already
popular among young Europeans especially.
/ This merger gives TikTok a boost, which quickly goes on
to become one of the most downloaded applications in
the world.
5. The TikTok phenomenon: a meteoric success over the last two years

/ Recently, the health crisis has given a new
boost to social media.
/ In January, TikTok counted 800 million
members, since then, it is nearing a billion
accounts.
/ The application recorded its best quarter at
the beginning of 2020, with 315 million
downloads in three months (155.2 million more
than in the first quarter of 2019).

the TikTok app be explained?
11. TikTok: infinite possibilities of video creation

/ Lots of effects to try depending on
trends

/ Extensive musical library offered
by TikTok
/ Video format (3 secs to 1 min,

/ Speed of video recording
/ Adjustments: beauty mode, range of
filters, self-timer, flash
12. Two news feeds: “Following” and “For You”
01 / TIKTOK’S XXL PERFORMANCE
Welcome page
/ Thanks to its unique configuration, TikTok offers its
users the possibility of switching between two news
feeds: Following and For You
▪ The “Following” feed remains classic. Like
on all other social media, here you can find
content shared by the people you follow.
▪ It is on the personalised “For You” feed that
the platform stands out from its competitors,
with suggested content tailored to the
preferences of each user.
/ Profile, likes, comments and shares
/ Tabs: Feeds, discovery, video creation,
notifications, profile
/ Feeds : Following and For You
12
13. The “Discover” tab, the holy grail of brands
01 / TIKTOK’S XXL PERFORMANCE
“Discover” tab
/ In the “Discover” tab, users can find the current most
popular trends and music. Here in particular you can find
challenges, launched every day in the form of hashtags.
/ It’s THE holy grail for brands, who are here able to start
a challenge and see content created freely for them, by
users.
/ For emerging brands who don’t have a large community,
or simply for those who want to reach their goal more
quickly, social media offers a paid option so that the
hashtag created is more visible.
/ Challenges popular with brands as
picked up by users and therefore reach a
significant number of people.

14. Some examples of hashtag challenges
01 / TIKTOK’S XXL PERFORMANCE

Mercedes Benz has launched the hashtag #MBStarChallenge. The brand encourages users of
the platform to recreate its world-famous logo in their own style. A way of increasing brand
awareness and creating engagement among TikTok’s audience, younger than the star-clad
firm’s usual fans.

18. TikTok stands out from other social media for its interface and functionality, but
above all for its algorithm.
19. How does the TikTok algorithm work?

The algorithm analyses the views, likes,
comments, shares and downloads it
receives.

group of users likely to enjoy it

This algorithm can also allow new
accounts or accounts with fewer
followers to grow overnight with quality
content, which isn’t possible on
“historical” social media.
Prioritising quality content
20. When the cycle skyrockets on TikTok: the example with Bella Poarch
01 / TIKTOK’S XXL PERFORMANCE
20
/ An influencer specialising in lip sync (lip synchronisation), Bella Poarch is a very
good example for illustrating the effects of the TikTok algorithm.
▪ When she had a growing community (1 million followers), she released a new
video on 16 August 2020, where she lip-synced to a popular mash-up.
▪ The video was incredibly popular, you can see the gain in followers building up
over several days, with a following that increased six-fold in less than one
month.
/ So, it only took one piece of content, that was sufficiently effective, for Bella Poarch
to multiply her community on TikTok by 6.

31. Focus on Gen Z: hyper-connectivity
31
On average, Generation Z use their
smartphone for 4 hours a day. It is a multi-
purpose tool for staying informed as well as
interacting with a wider network. Digital use is
intuitive and habitual.
GEN Z
TikTok responds to this hyper-connected
tendency.
The user-friendly app suits everyone - there is
nothing simpler than scrolling with your thumb.
The variety of content available on TikTok also
meets the expectations held by different types of
user.

32. Focus on Gen Z: a rationale of immediacy and fluidity
32
Generation Z’s relationship with time has been
transformed through the use of phones. This
generation has developed a culture of
immediacy, in terms of communication as well
as consumption and access to information. They
are comfortable and capable of great reactivity.
They also grew up alongside the culture of
zapping.
GEN Z
TIKTOK
On TikTok, the video clips are very
short. Thanks to the functionality of the
app, it is possible to watch hundreds of
videos very quickly, particularly by
zapping, only devoting time to those
that you enjoy or that interest you the
most.

33. A window to the world
33
Thanks to social media facilitating
communication between individuals,
Generation Z is more open to the
world. For example, almost 70% of
them would be willing to work
internationally.
GEN Z TIKTOK
Depending on the country and culture, the
application can be used differently.
European users love comedy, fashion and
beauty. Chinese users prefer sketches and
fake hidden cameras. Japanese users
regularly enjoy choreography.

03 / WHAT OPPORTUNITIES ARE THERE FOR BRANDS?
TIKTOK ADS
TikTok officially launched its
advertising offer for French advertisers
at the end of 2019. The application
offers 4 different categories of
advertising: brand takeovers, in-feed
videos, hashtag challenges and filters.
INFLUENCE
TikTok sees new influencers emerging
very quickly. A collaboration allows
you to create distinctive content. An
influencer allows you to address your
target audience on their turf, with
their codes.
CONTENT
More and more brands are starting to
use TikTok’s services. For a brand,
posting content on TikTok
demonstrates their creative talent,
and allows them to increase their
visibility and engagement.

39. The different paid formats offered by TikTok
BRAND TAKEOVERS
Allows you to broadcast a video lasting 3
to 5 seconds upon opening of the mobile
application.
IN-FEED VIDEOS
An in-feed video format allowing you to
redirect traffic to a landing page or grow a
brand’s account.
HASHTAG CHALLENGES
The promotion of a hashtag for 6 days to
encourage users to use it for their TikTok
videos.
FILTERS
Brands are able to offer filters (2D or 3D)
which users can use in their videos.

It should also be noted that many more traditional celebrities (singers,
athletes, reality TV stars, youtubers, etc.) have joined TikTok and,
since they already have a strong following, can also act as
influencers.
TikTok has facilitated the emergence of new influencers very quickly.
On this app, audiences tend to climb at full speed, which is also a
plus for brands hoping to activate the levers of influencer marketing.

46. The most represented content categories on TikTok
46
Fashion and beauty influencers are very
present on TikTok, which offers a
format that’s just as visual as Instagram.
You can find a number of beauty
tutorials and fashion inspiration.
Dance and lip sync remain the main content
present on TikTok, be it professional
dancers or amateurs reproducing
challenges.
Comedy is becoming increasingly prominent
on TikTok. In particular, the app favours self-
deprecation and acceptance.
ART & DIY
DANCE AND LIP SYNC
The video format lends itself to small DIY
tutorials but also to artistic performances and
tips of all kinds.
HUMOUR
COOKING AND FOOD
The short TikTok videos allow the sharing of
recipes in a visual and creative way. A very
current trend, especially during lockdown.
FITNESS FASHION AND BEAUTY
Another trend that has made a giant leap
forward with lockdown: sport. The app lends
itself well to tips and daily routines, and sport
blends in perfectly with the rhythmic and
musical side of TikTok.

50. What type of influencer should you choose for your brand?
/ Celebrities are personalities who are
now part of pop culture. TikTok has
already made certain influencers into
real muses who sometimes pursue
their career in music or cinema.
/ Macro-influencers offer strong visibility
to campaigns. They can allow a brand to
improve their image. Their engagement
rate is weaker, but they have a wider
reach.
CELEBRITIES
2.5 MILLION+ FOLLOWERS 750,000 - 2.5 MILLION FOLLOWERS
MACRO-INFLUENCERS
/ Their community is growing and they

03 / WHAT OPPORTUNITIES ARE THERE FOR BRANDS?

51. What type of influencer should you choose for your brand?
/ Micro-influencers have a community that is often more
engaged and responsive. A micro-influencer will tend to have a
more focused audience, which enables you to take advantage of
high engagement and conversion rates. Micro-influencers also
have the advantage of offering lower rates, which means
different profiles can be used for the same campaign.
/ Nano-influencers are consumers who guide other
consumers. They have a small community with which
they’re close and they in fact have strong powers of
direction. There are lots of them and thus they represent a
strong potential to unlock.

54. There is one final way to communicate with your brand on TikTok: creating content
which respects the creative codes of the application.
55. How do you create good TikTok content?
MAKING YOUR CONTENT ATTRACTIVE
Since the description is limited to
around a hundred characters, it is
important to fully utilise the video
and audio.
55
You should share the right
message in less than one
minute, in a creative and
native way.
To reach creative users: access to an
extensive musical library and to several
effects offered by the application.
03 / WHAT OPPORTUNITIES ARE THERE FOR BRANDS?
56. How do you create good TikTok content?
FOLLOWING A TREND / BEING ORIGINAL
56
When creating your own trend, it is important that
the action to carry out is simple and that everyone
can reproduce it by watching and adding their
personal touch.
Joining in with a trend or challenge can guarantee
a specific audience.
03 / WHAT OPPORTUNITIES ARE THERE FOR BRANDS?
57. How do you create good TikTok content?
NEITHER INTRUSIVE NOR AGGRESSIVE
/ To convince them, opt for storytelling rather than classic
advertising. The ideal is creating advertisements
integrated with TikTok content as well as in the form
they’re created: advertising that respects the user
experience and combines performance and discretion.
57
/ Gen Z rejects traditional marketing and often
tends to avoid advertisements. It is important
they don't feel “marketed to” and that the video
is of genuine interest to them.
03 / WHAT OPPORTUNITIES ARE THERE FOR BRANDS?
58. How do you create good TikTok content?
HASHTAGS
/ The use of hashtags means videos on TikTok can be indexed. Since the caption of the video is limited to around a
hundred characters, it needs to be concise and relevant.
/ The key is choosing relevant hashtags. For example, a challenge is always linked to a particular hashtag. There are
certain hashtags that are very popular and used on a lot of videos, while others are more niche. It is also important to
track statistics to find the best hashtags.
58
03 / WHAT OPPORTUNITIES ARE THERE FOR BRANDS?
59. The #1: The NBA

/ The NBA was one of the first brands to use TikTok. Today, it is the most followed brand on the app.
The group has seven employees working full-time on TikTok content.
11.8 MILLION followers 255.9 million

Contrary to their Instagram account, which focuses mainly on games and highlights, the NBA’s
TikTok account is a place where you can get your dose of comedy, memes and motivation. They
often share videos of players practising to dramatic music, spinning around the basketball court or
team mascots doing their best dance moves.
KEY TO THEIR SUCCESS
03 / WHAT OPPORTUNITIES ARE THERE FOR BRANDS?
60. A French success: Merci Handy
60
/ Merci Handy is a French cosmetics brand founded in 2014 which specialises in making hand gels.
The brand is very skilled with social media and already very popular on Instagram (2nd brand in
the world with the best engagement rate).
308.2k
followers
12 million

KEY TO THEIR SUCCESS
Attracted by the freedom and interactivity TikTok offers, Merci Handy cultivates the image of a fun
company by sharing videos that are mostly humorous. To do this, it doesn’t hesitate to ride the
waves of trends and challenges of the moment, to show its premises, but also its employees.
03 / WHAT OPPORTUNITIES ARE THERE FOR BRANDS?
61. A local example: Clean and Car

presence online (Facebook, Instagram, website), and has had a TikTok account for less than two
months, which has already taken off well.
830

KEY TO THEIR SUCCESS
Clean and Car posts regularly on TikTok. Its video content is adapted to the TikTok platform
and allows it to showcase its business. Even though its account does not have a huge
following, this does not stop certain videos from performing on the platform. One of its videos
received more than 280k views.

03 / WHAT OPPORTUNITIES ARE THERE FOR BRANDS?
63. / TikTok represents a real opportunity for brands with a target audience of 30s and under, and is becoming
more and more key for influencer marketing.
/ The platform has completely exploded in popularity with the health crisis of 2020 and lockdown, offering a
new means of entertainment, at your fingertips.

TIKTOK: A REAL OPPORTUNITY
04 / TIKTOK: GO OR NO GO?
65. 04 / TIKTOK: GO OR NO GO?
65
Ask the right questions:
The question may appear simple but in the sometimes blind
enthusiasm for TikTok, it merits an answer. 75% of TikTok users are
younger than 25.
Among them, more than two thirds are female.
Does that correspond with your target audience?
/1. Is my target audience on
TikTok?
1. Time passes and young people (also) get older.
Whilst an audience may not currently be your target, it could be in
the near future. It can be useful to plant your brand in the minds of
these target audiences.
2. Frankly speaking, it is unlikely you will find your next B2B lead on
TikTok.
Incorporating TikTok into your digital strategy
/ Tips
66. 04 / TIKTOK: GO OR NO GO?
66
Ask the right questions:
Unfortunately, not all brands start with the same “capital success”
when it comes to performing on the TikTok platform. Depending on
the consistency of their audience, their image, identity or even their
editorial tone of voice compared to those on TikTok, a brand starts
with more or less of an advantage.
/2. Does my brand universe lend itself to TikTok’s codes?
Depending on the consistency of their audience, their image,
identity or even their editorial tone of voice compared to those on
TikTok, a brand starts with more or less of an advantage. It is crucial
to find “common ground” and to create synergy between your
brand universe and the highly specific codes and mechanisms of
TikTok.
Do not try to distort your brand and change everything to try and
make yourself a place on TikTok.
Incorporating TikTok into your digital strategy
/ Tips
67. 04 / TIKTOK: GO OR NO GO?
67
Ask the right questions:
Many brands have already invested in the platform to then abandon it
for lack of time, resources and eventually results. Producing content
on TikTok is an intense and time-consuming process that needs to be
followed to the letter.
/3. Do I have all the resources required to guarantee a relevant presence?
To avoid wasting your time and resources, you should clearly
define the range of possibilities and think up your strategy within
this defined perimeter of budget and skills.
Don’t hesitate to seek assistance from a digital agency.
Incorporating TikTok into your digital strategy
/ Tips
68. 04 / TIKTOK: GO OR NO GO?
68
Ask the right questions:
Sporadic campaigns, influencer activation, year-round community
management?
Depending on your goals, there are many possibilities for profiting
from the platform’s power and immediate ROI,
But never overlook the possibility of a long-term presence.
/4. What type of presence do I want to develop for my brand?
Approaching TikTok with a long-term attitude and situating yourself
firmly at the outset can become a winning bet on the future when
we consider the prospects of potential development of the
platform, such as the integration of social commerce like Instagram,
for example.

72. What does the future hold for TikTok?
04 / TIKTOK: GO OR NO GO?
72
/ Still not widely used by French and Luxembourg brands, it's the ideal time to get started on TikTok!
/ We can already predict the appearance of e-commerce functionalities on TikTok, as its equivalent “Douyin”
