Why TikTok may soon be ready to go after TV ad money

Featuring:

Sandie Hawkins GM of US Global Business Solutions at TikTok

Episode summary

We talked to Hawkins about why she thinks that TikTok’s reach, coupled with the emotional response so many creator videos generate, should position the company to compete for TV ad budgets soon. Hawkins says the key is getting measurement up to par on TikTok, which has only been actively selling ads for about two years, but is now enjoying huge demand increases due to the pandemic.
