3 Ways To Grow Your Brand On TikTok, According To Video Production & Marketing Agencies [DesignRush QuickSights]

TikTok has one billion monthly active users. DesignRush reached out to experts to discover the ways businesses can leverage TikTok to grow their brands.

MIAMI - SEPTEMBER 14, 2022

According to Sensor Tower, TikTok was the most downloaded app worldwide in the first quarter of 2022. With one billion monthly active users and an impressive engagement rate — an average usage time of 52 minutes a day with 90% of users accessing it on a daily basis, as shared by Backlinko, TikTok is the most engaging of all social media platforms showing the most long-term potential for growing brand awareness and leads.

DesignRush, a B2B marketplace connecting businesses with agencies, leveraged its 16,000-agencies-strong network for quick insights – or “QuickSights” – on the ways businesses can leverage TikTok to grow their brands.

1) LEVERAGE STORYTELLING TO DRIVE ENGAGEMENT

TabithaNaylor.com owner Tabitha Jean Naylor claims that businesses should use storytelling to add a human touch and drive engagement on TikTok.

“Storytelling, for all its simplicity, is the golden ticket to success on TikTok,” said Naylor. “Your audience will engage with your brand’s unique offering if the delivery feels human and evokes emotion. Trends give you the framework to create engaging stories and relevant solutions that will resonate with them.”

2) SHARE AUTHENTIC CONTENT TO BUILD BRAND AWARENESS

Alamo City Marketing Solutions Owner Evan Swanson says that businesses should post reliable and authentic content to build brand awareness and drive engagement on this social network popular with young demographic.

“You need to build brand awareness through content that stands out,” said Swanson. “Tap into trends your followers love, and create content that feels relatable and authentic, which makes people more likely to engage according to SEMrush. I have a client (Shawn Brown Law) that’s on TikTok and we create funny content that appeals to the viewers and also gets the serious message across in regards to their attorney services."

3) USE VIDEOS TO PROVIDE VALUE & GAIN CUSTOMER TRUST

In the opinion of Thomas Verdi, producer and CEO at FF Branded, the main reason brands should share videos on TikTok is to show value and create trust.

“You can't guarantee a viral video or topic, and aiming for it is the wrong approach, said Verdi. “As you're building your content marketing channels, your goal is not to get engagement. It's to provide value to your audience. By providing this value to your audience, you create trust with them. Creating trust with your audience is essential to building a brand on TikTok, or on any platform for that matter.”
