Since its launch, it has embraced dazzling success with more than a billion downloads and is positioned in 3rd place in the most used social network behind Facebook and Instagram.
Pep, rhythm, creativity, and virality are all words that define this social network. Its features? Short, unique, and spontaneous videos are 3 to 60 seconds long. In Europe, there are more than 100 million users who are potential customers for VSEs/SMEs if their targets are under 35 years old. As you will have understood, TikTok is “THE PLACE TO BE” if you want to activate levers in your influence marketing.
What are the benefits of using it?

Moreover, the social network is not just for B2C markets, but also for B2B companies. Even though the users are mainly Generation Z, B2B-oriented communication can find its happiness there.
