Kanonische URL: https://www.adspecialist.de/en/blog/wie-eine-tiktok-marketing-agentur-deine-brand-staerken-kann/ ## What a TikTok marketing agency does and what sets it apart from other agencies If you hire a general social media agency, you have the great advantage that you can completely outsource your social content to a company. However, the lack of specialization on TikTok can also mean that the content on the platform is simply lost because the agency lacks in-depth know-how about the platform and algorithm. TikTok has its own content logic that neither [Instagram](/en/instagram-influencer-marketing/) nor [YouTube](/en/channel-youtube/) or [Twitch](/en/channel-twitch/) follow. Mastering them is the most important skill of a TikTok marketing agency. A specialist agency understands the For You feed, knows which trends and sounds are gaining traction, and works with TikTok's native content conventions. Its videos should not look like television commercials or recycled Instagram Reels. They should be made for TikTok. The agency can support your brand across services ranging from brand content to creator collaborations: - **Content planning:** The agency will work with you to create a plan that makes your brand visible through organic content, ads and influencer marketing and increases your performance. - **Creator Matching:** It selects suitable TikTok creators based on audience fit, niche and performance data. - **Content briefing:** Briefings are created to match the platform, giving the creator freedom while still remaining compliant with your brand. - **TikTok Ads:** Your agency strategically plans in-feed ads, top view and spark ads and plays them out according to plan. - **Trend agility:** The agency times campaigns so the brand can respond while a trend is still relevant. On TikTok, that window can close overnight. - **Reporting:** You get an evaluation of relevant KPIs such as views, watch time, CTR and cost per conversion. It is always important for your TikTok marketing: As soon as you work with influencers - whether [with a specialized influencer marketing agency](/en/) or on your own - be sure to pay attention to the platform fit. TikTok creators produce faster, more spontaneously and closer to the zeitgeist than influencers on other platforms. Instagram posts still often rely on the well-known glossy look, while TikTok thrives on immediacy. A creator who shows a mini product test within 20 seconds is often more successful and generates more trust among customers than a well-styled shoot. ## Why influencers on TikTok are so valuable through organic reach A TikTok account with just 3,000 followers can get 500,000 views on one video. The reason for this is the FYP algorithm: Content is shown regardless of the number of followers; instead, it is all about whether people interact with the video and share it. For influencer marketing, this means: Nano and micro creators with high engagement rates and clearly defined niches can often be even more valuable for your brand than creators with a broad audience. Overall, there are various reasons why [TikTok influencers](/en/tiktok-influencer-marketing/) in particular can be so valuable for your brand: - Thanks to the FYP algorithm, your reach is more independent of the number of followers. - Creators can amplify trends and use them for your brand. - Native formats such as duets, stitches and collabs promote viral collaborations. - The [engagement on TikTok](https://de.statista.com/infografik/24174/kennzahlenvergleich-von-tiktoks-und-instagram-reels/) is higher than on Instagram & Co. - Authentic creator content helps your brand – TikTok users are allergic to content that is too promotional. ## From TikTok Ads to Live Shopping: How TikTok agencies use influencers to increase your performance As an influencer marketing agency, we work in all of our projects with ecommerce brands and start-ups such as MagicHolz or Enpal according to our brandformance approach. We treat awareness and performance as funnel phases that build on each other and show that visibility today generates measurable performance tomorrow. The same applies to influencer marketing on TikTok. Awareness and performance arise through influencer collaborations in various ways: **Spark Ads** [Spark Ads](/en/tiktok-shop/ads/) use organic creator content as advertising, making them one of the most effective formats for influencer marketing on TikTok. Instead of a classic ad, an already published creator post is displayed as an ad - with the creator's profile, not your brand's. You benefit from higher credibility and better performance values ​​because you can use the organic social proof that the post has already collected. **In-Feed Ads and TopView Ads** If you post brand or influencer content as a classic ad on TikTok, you have two options: In-Feed and TopView Ads. In-Feed Ads appear natively on the FYP, TopView Ads are displayed directly when the app is opened. Both are suitable for different goals. - **Awareness:** TopView Ads bring maximum visibility because they are the first to be played when the app is opened. They are ideal for product launches and awareness campaigns with larger budgets. - **Performance:** In-Feed Ads simply line up in the For You Feed. You can place your CTA, users can like and comment, making them ideal for performance goals. However, it is important that you hold the viewer's attention within the first few seconds. **[TikTok Shop](/en/tiktok-shop/)** The TikTok Shop allows users to view and purchase products directly via the app. Videos link directly to the products in the shop, so that creators become a direct sales channel. This gives you the opportunity to generate direct conversions via TikTok from influencer collaborations. ### Attribution & KPIs: Tracking as a basis for any type of influencer marketing Whether you work with a specialist TikTok agency or a broader influencer agency, agree on attribution methods and target KPIs before the campaign starts. The resulting data should show what worked and where the next campaign can improve. A good TikTok marketing agency works with [UTM parameters](/en/loesungen/tracking-attribution/) and creator-specific tracking links to accurately measure which post triggered which clicks and purchasing decisions. In addition to pure conversions, you should always track appropriate KPIs - especially if you are planning an awareness campaign that does not have the goal of triggering immediate conversions. Various KPIs are helpful on TikTok: - **Views & Watch Time:** How many users watch and for how long? A short watch time signals that the hook is not working. - **CTR:** The click-through rate shows whether the CTA is convincing. - **CVR:** The conversion rate shows how many clicks lead to a measurable action. - **Cost per conversion:** The cost of a defined conversion is the key efficiency KPI for performance campaigns. - **Engagement Rate:** Likes, comments and shares are an indicator of quality for creator content. ## Conclusion: TikTok marketing agencies as growth partners for your brand TikTok is not an additional platform that you can use casually. The platform has its own rules, its own pace and a community that immediately filters out content that is too promotional. A specialized TikTok marketing agency brings the important know-how you need: platform depth, a creator network, ad expertise and, above all, clean reporting so you know what worked. The end result for your brand is greater reach through influencer marketing, as well as a long-term increase in performance. Do you want to know what a TikTok strategy for your brand can look like?

This depends on the depth of your existing agency’s TikTok expertise. Many social media agencies know TikTok as a platform, but not the creator structures or the platform-specific content logic in detail. If TikTok is a relevant growth channel for you, it is worth using a specialized TikTok agency, either as a supplement or as a main partner for this channel. ### What are Spark Ads and why are they relevant for influencer campaigns? Spark Ads are a TikTok ad format that plays existing organic creator posts as paid advertising. The post remains in the name of the creator, not the brand. The special thing about this is that the organic social proof of the post (likes, comments, views) is retained and promoted. For your influencer campaigns, this means more credibility and generally better click and conversion rates than classic brand ads. ### How much does influencer marketing on TikTok cost? Costs vary greatly depending on creator size, niche and campaign scope. Nano-creators with up to 10,000 followers often work for a product or a small fee, while micro-creators with 10,000-100,000 followers typically start at a few hundred euros per post. Macro creators and TikTok stars cost significantly more. However, what is important for your decision is less the number of followers, but rather the CPM, brand fit and the actual conversion rate. A TikTok marketing agency will help you use your budget wisely. ### Is TikTok marketing also worthwhile for B2B brands? Yes, but with a different approach than in B2C. TikTok is particularly suitable for B2B brands for awareness and initial points of contact with the brand. It is important to take the platform logic into account: authentic explanatory videos, behind-the-scenes and personal formats work better than classic corporate communication. Unlike LinkedIn, potential customers see TikTok videos in a private context, which can later be transferred to professional purchases.
