Overview

Advertising inside the feed

TikTok and Snapchat are full-screen, sound-on, vertical video platforms where people move quickly and skip anything that looks like a traditional ad. The ads that hold attention usually look like the content around them: a person talking to camera, a quick demonstration, a reaction or a trend adapted to your product. The algorithms reward watch time and engagement, so creative quality affects both reach and cost.

The first question is fit. TikTok reaches a broad range of ages and interests, and its search behavior is growing. Snapchat skews younger and is strong for local awareness, retail and app installs. Both need a steady supply of short videos, which means planning how creative gets made: in-house filming, creators, or edits from existing footage. We help you decide whether one platform, both or neither suits your audience and capacity.

Done well, these channels run like a creative program with paid distribution attached. New videos are tested frequently, measurement is honest about what each platform can and cannot attribute, and decisions to cut weak ads or scale strong ones happen quickly, because short-form content tends to wear out faster than ads on most other channels.

In practice

Ways brands use these platforms

  • Testing a new channel safely

    We run a contained pilot with clear success criteria, a defined creative set and proper tracking, so you learn whether the platform can work for you before committing to a larger ongoing program.

  • Boosting creator content

    Using Spark Ads on TikTok or creator content on Snapchat, we put paid distribution behind posts that already perform well organically, with the creator’s permission and proper disclosure in place.

  • Driving app installs

    For apps, we set up install and in-app event campaigns, connect measurement through the platform SDK or a mobile measurement partner, and optimize toward actions that indicate retained, active users.

  • Supporting retail and local visits

    For stores and venues, we combine location targeting, Snapchat’s local ad formats and offer-led creative to build awareness around openings, events and promotions in the specific neighborhoods and cities you serve.

Process

How we work

  1. 1

    Platform fit review

    We look at your audience, product, creative capacity and existing social presence, then recommend TikTok, Snapchat, both or neither, with the reasoning written down and the assumptions we will test.

  2. 2

    Creative planning

    We write hooks, scripts and shot lists built for the first two seconds, sound-on viewing and vertical framing, and decide whether you, creators or our team will produce each video.

  3. 3

    Tracking and setup

    We install the TikTok Pixel, Snap Pixel and their server-side events APIs, verify that events fire correctly, and build campaigns with objectives, audiences and budgets suited to a fair test.

  4. 4

    Rapid iteration

    New videos launch in small batches each cycle. We cut weak performers quickly, scale the strong ones and feed watch-time and hook-rate data straight back into the next round of scripts.

  5. 5

    Results readout

    We report spend, cost per result, watch-through rates and conversions alongside your own sales data, then recommend in writing whether to scale, adjust the creative approach or pause the platform altogether.
