TikTok accounts to follow for marketing and content creation tips
TikTok is wildly popular. The social media app has an estimated 700 million users across the globe — and a 100 million monthly active users in the US alone — which means it serves as a platform with a wealth of untapped potential for communications and marketing professionals who have yet to tap into this market.
According to data, it’s not just Gen Z who love this platform. Users in their teens accounted for 25% of TikTok’s active user accounts in the US, while users aged 20 to 29 years accounted for 22.4% of the video-sharing app’s user base on the Android platform, reported Statistica.
