YouTube, which has been the fastest-growing social media marketing channel in Pakistan, has recently been surpassed by TikTok in average watch time on Android devices. Also, it became the first application (not owned by Facebook) on the App Store with three billion installations.
The world of social media marketing is about to change dramatically in Pakistan with TikTok. A major challenge is that marketers still have much to learn about short-form, low-resolution videos, and their best practices might not be as effective as they are on other social networks.
What is TikTok Marketing?
Social media is experiencing rapid growth thanks to TikTok. Brands, Influencers & creators can use TikTok as a marketing tool, just like any other social media platform.

How TikTok Can Help Brands
TikTok will not disappear anytime soon despite the risk of jumping on yet another social channel. Through TikTok’s exciting, fun-filled content, brands are reinventing what users want to see. Compared to other social media like Instagram, TikTok allows brands to express a unique perspective. With Tik Tok, brands can build a brand new reputation. In addition to participating in popular trends and occasionally pushing the envelope, they break out of the corporate box and engage with consumers. Are you ready for this level of engagement? Let’s get the ball rolling by creating a business account on TikTok.
Establishing TikTok for Business
The summer of 2020 saw TikTok introduce a TikTok for the Business hub, followed months later by TikTok Pro. The two hubs were originally separate: one was geared toward businesses, the other toward creators of high growth. However, TikTok eventually merged the hubs because they offered almost identical insights.
For now, only TikTok for Business is a viable option. However, if you have a business account, you can fill in more details about your business and view statistics and insights about your audience.
