TikTok famous. Trending.
When it comes to this popular video platform, where phrases and songs such as “how will they know”, “time to check my social media”, “oh no”, and more, instantly create familiarity, TikTok is truly ruling the social media networks at the moment.
In fact, a study by eMarketer has shown that TikTok users in Australia spend an average of 52 minutes a day on the app – which is a big investment for sure!
With an estimated 1 billion monthly users worldwide, this android and iOS app connects with users through fun content where every user can instantly become a content creator thanks to TikTok’s easy functionality. Celebrities and influencers also have a fantastic platform to connect with fans or followers, with some of the most popular trending names of the moment including Addison Rae, The Rock and Jason Derulo, to name but a few.
That being said, brands are also making the most of TikTok by tapping into the fun, bite-size content pieces that make every post so digestible and easy to follow.
