Work with a TikTok Advertising Agency Creating Engaging & Converting Content
TikTok is being hailed as the future of social media. With nearly a third of Australia as active monthly users spending on average 23.4 hours per month on the platform, signs suggest this will only continue to grow.
The platform isn’t all dance trends and lip-syncing, either. Thanks to a unique format and targeting capabilities, it has become one of the most effective places for modern businesses to advertise. But running a successful ad campaign on TikTok takes more than just posting a video – it requires careful planning, creative thinking, and a deep understanding of how the algorithm works.

TikTok advertising is available in various formats to help you test and optimise campaigns for your target audience.
In-Feed Ads - Native Video
In-feed ads are the standard on TikTok, appearing throughout users’ videos in the main feed (a.k.a. the ‘For You Page’). These ads can be up to 60 seconds long, include images, videos, or a mix of both, and feature a clickable call-to-action. They’re also skippable, meaning you only have a short opportunity to grab users’ attention.
Top View
TopView ads appear at the top of the main feed instead of in between other videos when users first open the app, securing your brand the preferred real estate on your target audience’s screens. These ads can also be up to 60 seconds long, holding attention without contending with competing content for a more immersive & engaging experience.
Branded Hashtag Challenge
A branded hashtag challenge encourages users to create videos using a specific hashtag. The challenge can be open to all TikTok users or just a particular group (such as company employees), appearing throughout In-Feed placement, Featured Banners on the ‘Discover Page’, and the Hashtag Challenge itself.
Branded Effects
Show your playful side with branded effects – special filters or “lenses” and effects that can be used in TikTok videos accompanied by your unique branding. These effects can be accessed by scanning a QR code or visiting a website, and are often used in conjunction with other TikTok ad campaigns, such as Brand Hashtag Challenges.
Brand Takeover Ads
Brand takeover ads are full-screen ads also appearing when a user opens the app. These ads are much shorter, only 3 to 5 seconds long can be a static image or animated gif. Labelled “Takeovers” as only one brand can takeover a specific chosen category each day.
The Importance of TikTok Advertising
TikTok, with its viral content, engaging format, and massive global reach, is quickly becoming a cornerstone of digital marketing. Particularly popular among Gen Z and millennials, it offers a platform to connect with a younger demographic in a way that feels organic and authentic.
TikTok advertising enables your brand to cut through the noise, delivering a message that is not only seen but also interacted with. However, the unique format of TikTok demands a novel approach, and that’s where Clearwater comes in. Our expert team understands the TikTok landscape and crafts strategic campaigns that connect with your target audience, increase brand visibility, and ultimately drive conversions.
