Creative Best Practices
The TikTok Creative Formula
Hook (0-3s) → Value/Story (3-15s) → CTA (last 3s)
Hook in first 3 seconds — the scroll-stopping moment. Use text overlay, unexpected visual, or direct address ("Stop scrolling if you...")
Native aesthetic — look like a TikTok, not an ad. Phone-shot, real people, trending sounds
Sound on — 93% of TikTok is consumed with sound. Music and voiceover are critical
Vertical video — 9:16 only. Never letterboxed horizontal
Text overlays — 73% of top-performing ads use on-screen text
Fast pacing — Cut every 2-3 seconds. Static shots die
Creator-led > brand-polished — UGC-style consistently outperforms studio creative
Creative Fatigue
Refresh every 7-14 days (TikTok audiences fatigue 2-3x faster than Meta)
Maintain 3-5 active creatives per ad group
Test new hooks on proven body/CTA structures
Monitor frequency: >3 weekly = fatigue risk
Targeting
Interest & Behavior
Interest categories (broader, for prospecting)
Video interaction (liked, commented, shared similar content)
Creator interaction (followed similar creators)
Hashtag interaction (engaged with relevant hashtags)
Custom Audiences
Website traffic (Pixel)
App activity
Customer file (email/phone upload)
Engagement (video views, ad interaction, profile visits)
TikTok Shop (shoppers, cart abandoners)
