Brands across industries have embraced TikTok as a high performance channel for consumer engagement and digital growth. TikTok has taken the world by storm, with 1.1 billion monthly active users-and yet for many brands, it remains a tactical enigma. TikTok is unlike any other social channel brands have interacted with in the past. TikTok revolves around trends, music, and of course, the For You Page where organic brand discovery can soar. It does not appear that the platform's growth is slowing down anytime soon, and the opportunities for brands on the platform continue to skyrocket. Companies like McDonald's, Disney, and
