About

One of the largest and fastest-growing social media advertising platforms globally, with particular strength among Gen Z and Millennial audiences

TikTok for Business provides brands with tools to optimize both ad production and measurement, including TikTok One for creator-brand collaboration and TikTok Market Scope, an analytics tool that tracks user behavior across the full buyer journey from awareness through conversion. Its core advertising offering consists of paid promotional content that appears in users' feeds, taking forms such as top-feed videos, in-feed videos, and sponsored effects. The platform's targeting capabilities support precise audience segmentation across dimensions including demographics, interests, behaviors, and device types, and advertisers can also build custom audiences based on engagement with similar content or hashtags. The platform is actively expanding its advertising reach beyond mobile, with a partnership announced in Q2 2026 with Vistar Media that extends TikTok's Out of Phone ad option into formats such as billboards, airport screens, and movie theater ads.
