Since its launch in 2017, TikTok has already become a global platform and marked its footprint in over 150 countries and regions, including India.
Designed for the new generation of creators, TikTok enables everyone to be a creator and encourages users to share their passion and creative expression through short-form videos.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Wang Tong, Director of Global Monetization Strategy, TikTok Ads said, “We have seen a huge fervour that TikTok has raised around the world, and of course we see that same fervour here in India as well.” He further added, “While we are excited about the passionate, creative and self-expressive elements that have been triggered by TikTok, we never stop exploring the manner in which we could be valuable for the business too, and to make TikTok bring in a paradigm shift in the traditional ad expression.”
