Engaging sub-communities with creators during Ramadan

Would you sacrifice your morning coffee or tea for whiter teeth? To caffeine drinkers’ delight, Colgate took to TikTok to show you might not have to. With the launch of its new toothpaste that's effective against coffee, tea & tobacco stains, the brand targeted TikTok users in Saudi Arabia to reveal how to get a whiter smile without giving up their favourite beverages.

With the help of TikTok Creator Marketplace, Colgate partnered with several creators to connect with sub-communities during the month of Ramadan. By leaning into popular TikTok videos like funny skits, relatable moments and the concept of ‘Ramadan Diaries’, the brand created relevant, entertaining content that successfully built product awareness during a key holy moment. 

The Solution

Speaking to the power of storytelling on TikTok

During the busy content month of Ramadan, breaking through the noise can be challenging. To make a real impact, Colgate turned to TikTok Creator Marketplace to seamlessly find the right creators, reach sub-communities across Saudi Arabia and boost engagement with their storytelling expertise. 

Each creator put their own spin on the brief, producing ‘mini episodes’ from popular Ramadan genres, such as romance, drama, horror and comedy. From dramatic monologues to  declarations of true love, each creator found humorous, seasonally relatable ways to introduce the product in their own authentic styles. 

The Results

Boosting video completion rates and driving click-throughs

By tapping into relevant TikTok content around Ramadan, Colgate created a truly impactful ad experience that stood out during the busy season. Creator content in this partnership boosted video completion rate by a huge 14%, increased click-throughs by 7% and more than doubled engagement rate. The collaboration proved the true effectiveness of relatable content in boosting attention and driving measurable action.  

TikTok Creator Marketplace helped the toothpaste brand find the right creators, whose storytelling ability compelled viewers to watch longer. In fact, Colgate’s creator content achieved far better video completion rates compared to shorter branded content from the same campaign.

For Colgate, partnering with the right creators and developing the right content on TikTok during Ramadan enabled the brand to reach consumers in Saudi Arabia in a relatable, authentic and entertaining way, while still driving big results.

💡 Tip 1: Use the search bar to find creators by keywords.

One of the best and easiest ways to discover creators on TikTok Creator Marketplace is through the search bar! Whether you are looking for creators that already post about your brand or specific TikTok trends, you can use the search bar to find relevant creators fast.

Here are 3 great examples of how to use the search bar.

🤓 Did you know?

You can also use the search bar to search in your local language.

💡 Tip 2: Set location filters.

To narrow your search, use Location filters!
 
You can choose which country or city the creators OR your target audiences are based.
 
Audience Country or Region: Location where your target customers are based.
 
Creator Country or Region: Location where the creators are based.

💡 Tip 3: Filter your search by number of creators' followers

We've also made it easy to filter by the number of creators' followers. Are you looking for up-and-coming or creators with smaller or more niche communities? Or do you want to partner with creators that have millions of followers?

Not sure how many followers you should aim for? It ultimately depends on your campaign objectives.

Check out this handy guide.

📖 Expert Tip

You don't have to work with creators with millions of followers to meet your campaign goals! Metrics like engagement rate, audience demographics and creator content are more important factors to consider when selecting creators.

💡 Tip 4: Make use of additional filters to refine your search

Want to go beyond a broad creator search? 

We offer additional filters so you can get really granular with your search! These include: 

  • Categories/Industry
  • Audience Demographics
  • Average Views per Video
  • Engagement Rate

You can also narrow your search to Responsive creators (under Badges) to surface creators who typically responds to brand invitations in 48 hours or less.

💡 Tip 5: Check creator profiles or watch videos to ensure brand fit.

Once you have completed your search, you'll see both Creators and Videos in your results!

Click on the Videos tab to start watching creator videos relevant to your search. 

When you see creators you are interested in, you can learn more about them by clicking on their creator profile. This will let you access first-party insights that let you decide if they are the right fit for your brand.

  • Average views on their videos
  • Number of followers and follower growth rate
  • Engagement rate
  • Most Recent and Most Popular Videos
  • Brands they previously partnered with (if any)

💡 Tip 6: Shortlist your selected creators

Once you've found creators you are interested in, add your favorites to a Shortlist so you can easily find them later when you're ready to set up your campaign. 

You can create multiple shortlists depending on how you want to categorize creators. For example, you can create a list of creators you want to contact immediately for a campaign and another list of creators for future reference. Another idea is to create a list for each seasonal campaign (e.g. Christmas, Back to School, Black Friday).

💡 Tip 7: Let creators find YOU with Open Applications

Are you tired of spending hours searching for the right TikTok creators for your campaign? Look no further than Open Applications – the easy and efficient campaign type on TikTok Creator Marketplace that lets the creators come to you! No more spending time going through pages and pages looking for individual creators.

With Open Application campaigns, you can open up your campaign to TTCM's network of creators so they can proactively apply and pitch YOU their ideas. To ensure that you only get relevant applications, you can use preference filters and screening questions. Learn more about how Open Application works here.

The Objective

Creators starting conversations

Kit Kat’s famous slogan has been encouraging the world to ‘have a break’ for decades. But the beloved chocolate brand also knows that everyone enjoys their breaks – and their Kit Kats – differently. 

Kit Kat wanted to speak to the youth of Saudi Arabia with a creator-led TikTok campaign that sparked conversations around the best way to enjoy a Kit Kat.

With TikTok Creator Marketplace, the brand was able to partner with the top creators in Saudi Arabia to kickstart the conversation through a creator-led activation. The playful debate got fellow creators and Kit Kat’s target audience involved in a memorable format that boosted ad recall and drove purchase intent among young people across Saudi Arabia.

The Solution

Engaging target audiences with a creator-led activation

Kit Kat’s campaign was centred around the #MyBreak hashtag, with each creator offering their own take on the best way to eat a Kit Kat: Do you take a bite from the bar? Eat one finger at a time? Or dip it in your tea? Turns out – it’s a hot topic. 

The campaign was divided into three key phases: 

  • Kit Kat kicked off the debate
  • Creators responded to the brand with their own ways of enjoying the treat
  • The conversation continued via creator duets and debates in the comment section

TikTok Creator Marketplace enabled Kit Kat to search and partner with local creators from Saudi Arabia to create localised content that invited their target audience into the conversation. 

Kit Kat took a unique approach by encouraging people to talk about how they personalise their experience with the brand – inspiring conversations that showcased product love in an authentic, entertaining way. 

The Results

Boosting ad recall and driving in-store sales

Kit Kat’s creator campaign reached over 14M unique users on TikTok. By partnering with creators on TikTok Creator Marketplace, Kit Kat sparked conversations that put people’s enjoyment of its product at the heart of the campaign.

By involving creators and users in the debate, Kit Kat created a memorable campaign that showcased brand love and still felt authentic. The brand saw a 3.6% rise in purchase intent as a result of the campaign and a 5.2% lift in in-store sales

Launching Hashtag Shaped Cheetos on TikTok

Cheetos, owned by the global company PepsiCo, is one of the world’s most popular snack brands.

It is renowned for its distinct cheesy flavor, crunchy texture, and an extensive range of flavors that cater to diverse consumer preferences, from mild cheddar cheese to flaming hot.

To promote its new launch in Egypt, Hashtags shaped Cheetos, the Brand sought to leverage the TikTok platform to generate awareness. Cheetos opted to launch the new product through a hashtag challenge on TikTok, an excellent solution to create buzz around the launch. To make the campaign even more interactive, a branded effect was also created.

The campaign ran for 4 weeks and targeted the genZ community on TikTok, aiming to engage and entice them with the new product.

The Solution

Combining Branded Effect and a Hashtag Challenge led by creators

To power the hashtag challenge, Cheetos leveraged the TikTok Creator Marketplace to identify some of the most popular young creators in Egypt. Since the campaign included a dance challenge component, the brand chose creators who were also known for their Music Lipsync content.

Using the Cheetos Branded Effect as their background, each creator showed off their best “zigzag dance" to the tune of upbeat original music developed for the campaign. In the captions, the creators encouraged their followers to participate in the challenge by using the same Branded Effect and performing the “zigzag dance" themselves. All videos incorporated the hashtag #شيتوس_هاشتاج_ورقصة_الزجزاج.

To maximize the campaign reach, Cheetos leveraged Spark Ads to boost the creators’ videos and ensure reach on the campaign’s target audience. It wasn’t long before thousands of TikTok users and other creators joined the challenge!

The Results

Achieving significant reach and brand lift success

The campaign registered groundbreaking results that surpassed benchmarks.

The creator-led content paired with Spark Ads led to a massive reach of 11.3M unique TikTok users. Videos using the Hashtag Challenge also racked up 92M Video Views. This is twice the benchmark number for Hashtag Challenge views in Egypt!

Partnering with TikTok creators to lead the campaign proved to be an effective strategy for creating virality. Over 13,000 videos were generated using the hashtag, exceeding the benchmark for similar campaigns in Egypt by more than three times.

A Brand Lift Study was conducted to gauge the campaign’s impact on brand perception. The study found that the campaign resulted in an +8.4% Ad Recall uplift, indicating its memorability for TikTok audiences. Additionally, there was a +13.3% Brand Awareness uplift, further demonstrating the campaign’s success.

Share of Voice in GCC and UK

The Objective

Showcasing Abu Dhabi as a premier summer destination

The Department of Culture and Tourism (DCT) is Abu Dhabi’s governmental organization in charge of developing and promoting local and international tourism to Abu Dhabi. DCT’s travel marketing strategy is built on the foundation of showcasing the emirate of Abu Dhabi as a premier destination for every kind of traveler. Thrill-seekers looking for action-packed adventures can enjoy an adrenaline rush at Yas Island, heritage lovers can visit historical landmarks, and more laid-back travelers can choose from a myriad of luxurious dining options.

For their summer campaign, DCT turned to TikTok to show how summertime was a fantastic time to visit Abu Dhabi. DCT aimed to target travel enthusiasts across Gulf countries and the UK, and generate awareness and excitement around the emirate’s many tourist destinations.

The Solution

Partnering with TikTok creators for an interactive travel video series

To drive their message in an authentic and engaging way, DCT decided to partner with TikTok creators to demonstrate first-hand why users should travel to Abu Dhabi.

DCT collaborated with the creator Vlada, better known by her TikTok handle @notyourlocalhabibi, who is known for her comedic and relatable videos. To show just how Abu Dhabi is the perfect destination for travelers of all ages, Vlada was paired with the “coolest Grandma" who gamely participated in travel activities (including “burning rubber" behind the wheel at the Formula One race track!).

The unlikely pair embarked on a series of travel adventures that boasted tourist places in Abu Dhabi. Vlada posted each adventure on her TikTok account, reaching her 1.3M followers. What made the campaign even more fun was how engaged the viewers were, taking the time to comment on the videos to suggest what the ladies should do next!

After the Yas Marina Circuit where grandma stepped into the driver’s seat of an F1 car, Vlada and grandma headed to brunch where they enjoyed “epic" mocktails and food. Next stop was CLYMB for some adrenaline rush, where the pair made viewers laugh as grandma beat Vlada with her rock climbing skills.

The last destination was the Al Ain Palace to celebrate Eid! Wearing beautiful abaya dresses, the ladies explored the majestic halls and pathways of the luxurious 4-star hotel. They also handed eidiya to children (gifts traditionally handed by older relatives to children during Eid) and enjoyed some authentic Emirati food.

Celebrating a religious holiday while immersing in the local culture was the perfect way to end the fun TikTok video series. To amplify reach, DCT leveraged Spark Ads to boost the creator videos targeted towards users who were interested in travel.

The Results

Achieving significant milestones at an efficient cost

Not only did the campaign reach a massive audience of 20 million users across the GCC region and United Kingdom, it also achieved over 60% in Share of Voice (SOV).

Compared to industry benchmarks, the campaign had a 125% increase in view-through rate, with many of the viewers engaging with the videos and leaving comments. From a cost efficiency standpoint, DCT also saw a 75% decrease in cost-per-view, proving that creator-led content was effective in maximizing advertising budget.

For its first app install campaign on TikTok, The TOD team leveraged the excitement before World Cup 2022. The campaign ran for three weeks with the goal of driving app installs across the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

The Solution

Partnering with TikTok creators during the pre-World Cup season

In order to reach and engage its target audiences on TikTok, the TOD team partnered with five TikTok creators using TikTok Creator Marketplace (TTCM), Tiktok's official platform for brand and creator collaborations. Through TTCM, the brand was able to discover creators in the region that have a strong following in the gaming and sports communities on TikTok.

Each creator showcased the app and its selection of sports and entertainment titles. These include international blockbusters like Spider-Man: No Way Home and The Matrix Resurrections or popular TV shows like Pretty Little Liars and Gossip Girl. For football enthusiasts, the creators also made sure to highlight the UEFA Champions League matches.

Once all creator videos were approved and live, the brand worked with the TikTok team to ensure the videos were reaching as many relevant users as possible. This was done through Spark Ads, which allowed the brand to “boost" creator videos to reach a wider audience without losing the videos' organic feel.

Targeting optimizations were also implemented through lookalike audiences, making sure the campaign reached users who are more likely to download the app.

The Results

Achieving cost-efficient app installs through creator-led content

TOD's creator-led campaign on TikTok drove over 31,000 app installs. The successful results proved the winning combination of leveraging a seasonal moment and collaborating with relevant creators.

The Objective

Driving product awareness with humorous creator content

Nothing kills romance like bad breath. At least, that’s the message global toothpaste brand Close Up used for its recent amusing TikTok creator campaign in Egypt.

Through TikTok Creator Marketplace (TTCM), Close Up found the perfect creator match for the dating-themed content, helping the brand to drive awareness of its oral hygiene products, while improving reach and boosting video views. 

Close Up also used a Brand Lift Study to measure Ad Recall and Intent among viewers to optimise resonance on TikTok and gather impactful learnings. 

The Solution

Bringing a branded concept to life

Close Up oral hygiene products are all about giving customers the ‘confidence to get close’. For the toothpaste brand’s collaboration, the content showed creators in first date scenarios with a voiceover revealing their inner thoughts, building to the moment they detect their date's bad breath. 

With this humorous date-gone-wrong concept in mind, the brand utilised TTCM to collaborate with creators that would bring comedic value, helping them tap into target audiences. 

On TTCM, granular search filters enable brands to select the right creators: from audience country and size, to specific interests and keywords; like comedy, for example. For Close Up, creators @taghreed.e, @bassantm.dinar, @mooredaa and @farahharidy all brought their own humorous spin to the content, driving product awareness and boosting engagement among their audiences. With TTCM, Close Up also boosted the content with Spark Ads, maximising reach and promoting its products with funny, relatable content. 

The Results

Achieving results through comedy

By utilising a Brand Lift Study, Close Up was able to measure the impact of its creator collaborations through TTCM. Across the campaign, the storytelling content resonated with the target audience, meaning the brand saw significant uplift in Ad Recall.

The collaborations also drove action: Close Up measured +3.7% intent uplift. By utilising TTCM, the brand was able to find the right creators to tap into engaged audiences, delivering a strong message about their products in an authentic, playful way. 

Overall, the campaign received 50.3M video views and 444.5K engagements, boosting awareness across the target audience.

The Solution

Engaging a variety of sports communities through creators

For Decathlon, using TTCM helped them find a range of sporty creators, enabling the brand to reach a variety of audiences: from occasional exercisers, to fully-fledged fitness enthusiasts.

Across the collaborations, creators brought their own style. One creator showed how she stays active as a mum and gets her son moving, too – from beach days to playing football in the garden. Another visited a Decathlon store to showcase the variety of products on the shelves. And two of the creators showed how they use the retailer’s products with positive messages around exercise, from “Staying active is not boring”, to “Healthy body = healthy mind”

With TTCM, Decathlon was able to easily boost content from this collaboration with Spark Ads – driving further reach and promoting the brand with ad content that felt authentic.

Ramadan is just around the corner. And this means brands are starting to gear up for one of the biggest seasons in the region!
One of the things that makes TikTok distinct is how users gather as communities around shared passions and interests–be it food, entertainment, beauty or luxury. And during Ramadan, these communities become more active on Tiktok, by watching and engaging with videos that capture their interest.
 
Not only are users immersing themselves in content, they are also shopping more during Ramadan. In 2022, TikTok users spent 1.6X more than their planned amount on purchases*.
 
So how can brands better engage with communities on TikTok this Ramadan season?
 
If you don't know where to start, it's a great idea to begin by identifying the most powerful moments on TikTok during Ramadan. Ensure that your Ramadan campaign taps into one or more of these moments, and you'll have a great chance of inspiring users with your brand and influencing their shopping behavior!

1. Cooking Moment

It's not surprising that cooking becomes one of the most popular Ramadan moments on TikTok.
 
So if you're in F&B or any business related to food and cooking, make sure you embed this moment into your campaign.
 
There are numerous communities on TikTok that you can tap into, beyond moms and cooking enthusiasts.
 
For example, did you know that the hashtag #GamerFood has about 7 million views on TikTok**?
 
That's right, there are entire communities on TikTok that are centered around food and snack ideas for hungry but busy gamers. Make sure you are tapping into these niche communities as well!

2. Shopping Moment

You've probably seen supermarkets and retail stores dedicate shelves to products labeled with #TikTokMadeMeBuyIt.
 
Since users are actively shopping during Ramadan, you wouldn't want to miss out on this moment!
 
Consider collaborating with creators on TikTok Creator Marketplace and having them do an unboxing video of your product.

3. Iftar Moment

Iftar is one of the highlights of Ramadan, but it doesn't always have to be the picture-perfect meal shown in most ads!
 
Make your campaign stand out by working with creators that show humorous and relatable scenarios around Iftar.
