June Seminar Recap: How to Integrate TikTok into Your Brand Marketing Strategy
June 21, 2022
From small businesses to large corporations, TikTok is a melting pot for brands looking to expand their audience. All Points TikTok ambassadors Freddy Drzewiecki, Amber Fry and Alana Guggenheim led our monthly agency seminar to discuss TikTok success stories, strategies, and more.
TikTok Brand Success Stories
With over 4.3 million followers, Duolingo is one of the greatest brand success stories on the platform. TikTok is having a tangible impact on the company, skyrocketing their app to the top of the Apple Store education charts.
This didn’t happen by chance – Duolingo’s phenomenal success is thanks to a coherent Flicker, Flash, Flare content strategy. Here’s how it works:
- Flicker content – reactive (i.e., participation in viral trends)
- Flash content – proactive (i.e., planned/episodic content)
- Flare content – interactive (i.e., large-scale campaign initiatives)
Their success has other brands jumping in on the action, including Scrub Daddy and several of our own agency clients.
