Is TikTok still worth the ad spend

I’ve been debating whether to invest more in TikTok ads for our upcoming campaign… I’ve heard mixed reviews lately about ROI and engagement. Has anyone had a positive experience recently that made you reconsider or double down on your strategy? I’d love to hear some success stories or tips.

I totally get the hesitation around TikTok ads. We ran a campaign targeting Gen Z and saw a 30% increase in engagement when we used trending sounds from their popular creators. Just make sure you stay on top of the trends; otherwise, it might not hit the right audience.

, I hear you! It’s tough to gauge TikTok’s ROI lately. We tried focusing on relatable, authentic content instead of purely promotional stuff, and it sparked great engagement — maybe consider that approach?
