GROWTH IN TIKTOK
In 2022, TikTok is the number 1 platform where most marketers plan to invest and strengthen their presence.
Many businesses think that this platform is nothing but a platform for Gen-Zs to create funny and entertaining videos. Meanwhile, 2020 gave TikTok a sudden growth, and business owners and marketers started recognising the platform.
Today, TikTok is the fourth most effective social media behind Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube. It’s already ahead of Twitter and Pinterest.
- Convert And Get Too Much Attention
Based on data. 40% of users engage on a platform that doesn’t interrupt them. 41% of the TikTok audience are previous Podcast listeners, and 33% are TV users. Meaning, more and more people are focusing on watching Tiktok instead of listening to podcasts and watching television.
