TIKTOK 2023 STUDY: ITS REVEALING IMPACT ON BRANDS AND INFLUENCERS

TikTok has made a lasting impact in the digital world by challenging established norms. Its short video format has managed to capture the attention of not just the younger generation, but also a diverse range of audiences. As a result, there has been a significant and unavoidable shift in how people consume entertainment content and advertising.

With its massive user base of over 1 billion monthly active users, the app has become a prime platform for renowned “tiktokers” to showcase their content. These creators can rapidly propel their videos to viral status, reaping substantial profits as a result.

On the other side of the equation, brands are capitalizing on this opportunity by shifting and augmenting their influencer marketing investments on the platform.

In this study, ChainAd examines and provides evidence of the behavior of influencers and brands, two pivotal players that have transformed TikTok into a phenomenon, completely revolutionizing the dynamics of social media networks.

IBEX 35 Social Media Study

Did you know that companies that have more than 50% of their employees on LinkedIn have, on average, 22% more interaction on their social networks than companies that do not? This revealing data is part of our Study on the Use of Social Networks by IBEX 35 Companies, carried out by ChainAd Advocacy”, which is now available.

It proves that employees are the most powerful influencers for brands, and ChainAd Advocacy is aware that social networks are the right channel to involve employees and collaborators in building the brand image and reputation of companies.

GAMING AND INFLUENCERS MARKETING STUDY 2022

The video game and eSports industry has undergone a great revolution in recent years. It is estimated that by the end of 2022, advertising investment in the sector will have exceeded 1 billion dollars (WARC, “Global Advertising Trends: Opportunities in Gaming”).

Isolation measures to stop the pandemic have triggered the consumption of video games, a situation that has benefited the development of the sector, professionalization and the proliferation of content creators of all kinds.

This translates into a great business opportunity for brands and advertisers, who have a different and versatile sponsorship space (through the players’ kit, through mentions in the broadcasts, banners on the panels, automated pop-ups in chats, redirection to other social networks to participate in raffles, as official team sponsors, etc).

The possibilities are many, but for companies to successfully carry out their marketing strategies in this new map, it is crucial to know the sector and the new habits and behaviours that are developing in it. Therefore, the objective of ChainAd through this study is to provide a realistic image of what is trending in Influencer Marketing within the Gaming sector.
