Why TikTok
A Different Feed. A Different Creative Test.

Cost per thousand impressions (CPM) varies by audience, campaign and auction. This chart illustrates different cost scenarios; it is not a comparison of measured platform averages.

Test the Cost of Reach

Compare reach costs alongside enquiry quality and downstream outcomes. A lower CPM alone does not establish which channel is right for your brief.

🤖

Algorithm‑First Distribution

TikTok shows content based on engagement signals — not just who follows you. Your ad can reach millions even with zero following.

⚡

Creative Testing At Speed

Test different hooks, messages and formats against an agreed goal. Creative production, approvals and the available budget shape the testing plan.

👥

Audience Fit Comes First

Check whether the available audience, creative format and intended customer journey fit your market before committing spend.

The Algorithm Advantage

Why TikTok's Algorithm
Is Different To Everything Else.

Creative and Audience Testing

Creative, targeting settings and conversion signals work together. We test how the message and audience respond, then review whether that response supports your business goal.

A useful test starts with a clear hypothesis: who is the advert for, which problem does it address and what should happen after the click? Results guide the next decision.

Creative is a key part of the test.
Why we test the opening ▾
The opening needs to make the message clear quickly. We compare hooks and formats, then review attention, click quality and the actions taken after the advert.
🎯
Compare targeting approaches
Compare broader and more focused audiences where appropriate, then assess the enquiry quality and cost against your goal.
📈
Allow time to learn
Learning depends on the event volume, budget and campaign setup. We agree the review period around the available evidence.
🎬
Native-feel content wins
Test creative designed for the feed and compare its response with other formats. Performance depends on the audience, message and offer.
🔄
Engagement signals drive distribution
Review engagement alongside the actions that matter to your brief. Views and shares alone do not prove enquiry quality or revenue.

What We Do

Four Pillars Of
High-Converting TikTok Campaigns.

Click any pillar to see how we approach it — and why it matters for your results.

01 — Creative

Native-Feel Video Creative Strategy

The biggest mistake brands make on TikTok is repurposing Meta or YouTube ads. TikTok requires native-style content — punchy hooks, direct-to-camera, authentic messaging.

We agree the test plan, asset ownership and approval process with your team. Each test has a purpose: compare a hook, format, message or offer.

02 — Targeting

Audience Strategy & Interest Layering

We select the targeting options available for your account, market and goal, then agree how audience tests will be assessed.

Where consent, audience size and platform rules allow, we consider remarketing alongside new-customer campaigns. Availability is checked during setup.

Interest Targeting Behavioural Signals Video Retargeting Lookalikes

03 — Testing

Rapid Creative Testing & Iteration

We plan a manageable set of creative tests around the budget and assets available. Results guide which messages to refine, pause or test further.

We agree the creative refresh schedule and responsibilities with your team, reviewing costs, response and signs of fatigue before changing the plan.

04 — Scaling

Evidence-Led Budget Decisions

Budget increases need evidence and room for uncertainty. We review tracking, enquiry quality and campaign outcomes before recommending a change.

We explain the proposed budget change, what it is intended to test and when it will be reviewed. Costs and returns can change as spend increases.

    Brands that can create or commission short-form video content

  • ✓

    Teams whose customer research supports testing short-form video

    Businesses completely unwilling to create video content in any format
