Why it works▾
TikTok's algorithm rewards native-feeling content and punishes ad-native content. Stop making ads.
Full playbook▾
Native creative
Every ad should feel like it belongs in the feed. If a viewer thinks 'ad' in the first 2 seconds, it's dead.
Hook engineering
Test 3-5 hooks per concept. Same body, different opener. The hook is 80% of the outcome.
Measurement
TikTok reports 3-4x more conversions than reality. Blend with GA4 and post-purchase surveys.
