Ramadan is just around the corner! When it comes to seasonal moments such as Ramadan 2023, TikTok is the go-to platform for users to find inspiration and motivation to purchase.  Did you know, TikTok users are 1.6x more likely than non-TikTok users to shop more this Ramadan vs 2022*?

What makes TikTok distinct is how users gather as communities around shared passions and interests – be it food, entertainment, beauty or shopping . During Ramadan 2023, these communities become more active by watching and engaging with TikTok creators that capture their interest. 

So how can brands better engage with communities on TikTok this Ramadan 2023? One way is to work with TikTok creators to create branded content, leveraging Ramadan insights to unlock your campaign's potential. 

1. Cook up a storm with TikTok creators

It's not surprising that cooking is one of the most popular Ramadan moments on TikTok, with users searching for inspiration when it comes to Ramadan marketing ideas, Ramadan recipes, or Suhoor & breaking fast menu ideas.

According to TikTok Ramadan insights, 86% of TikTok users are interested in seeing F&B related content on TikTok during Lebaran (ID) & Hari Raya (MY)**!

This is a great chance for food and cooking-related businesses to embed this moment into your campaign.

This is the perfect opportunity to work with creators this Ramadan on TikTok Creator Marketplace, to showcase your product in an inspiring and authentic manner.

TikTok audiences love watching authentic content that spreads the joyful spirit and diverse vibes of Ramadan. If you are looking to work with TikTok creators to create entertaining content during Ramadan 2023, consider tapping into creators who are experienced in doing casual vlogs or tuned into the latest trends!

Driving brand love for McDonald's 50th birthday by remixing their iconic brand audio

As part of its nationwide birthday party, McDonald's (Australia) wanted to connect with its existing super-fans and re-engage with people who may have drifted away from the brand – all while turbo-charging brand love.

Alongside the golden arches and Big Mac, Macca's iconic jingle – “ba da ba ba ba" – is one of the most recognisable parts of the brand and an audio icon. So, the brand wanted to leverage this iconic sound and stand out on TikTok by connecting with the community authentically and giving its audience the chance to play with the sound. 

With the community already playing organically with the brand on TikTok, Macca's knew this was a natural fit for the platform.

Unique Reach

McDonald's worked with TikTok Creator Marketing Solutions to find creators on TikTok Creator Marketplace to deliver the campaign. The brand worked with six up and coming Aussie artists from a spread of musical genres to reinterpret the jingle with their own musical flares.

Each creator brought a unique lens to the brief: violinist @joelsvnny had cinematic drama, @h3rizonmusic showed off their acapella nous. Rapper @jaycee spat some bars, @mikaela_swan showcased incredible skills in drumming, @jhekhoos brought a laid-back acoustic spin and @djparislawrence created the remix to remix them all.

Each creator brought their own special sauce to the iconic jingle, and by partnering with a diverse range of creators, Macca’s was able to show up in unexpected ways to many different communities. 

This fit-for-platform campaign showed how sound-first creativity on TikTok can be a powerful brand-building tool. View-through rates of all creative performed well above the benchmark at 10.28%, indicating high community interest. Total impressions hit an impressive 41.2 million.

There was also a 34.9% increase in ad recall, more than 10,000 comments, and 400,000 likes. This indicated the campaign not only stayed with users, but also authentically encouraged fan engagement through the use of diverse creators. 

Client Testimonial

“Over the past 50 years, Australians have a rich history of making our brand their own, having christened us 'Macca's' for generations, so the launch of this campaign was a fantastic way to celebrate our ongoing connection with the local audience. With creativity on TikTok being underpinned by great sounds, it just made sense for us to work together to open up our famous jingle to our community and allow them to remix it for our anniversary."

Chris Brown, CMO
McDonald’s Australia
