TikTok ads measured in customers, not views.
TikTok can put your business in front of a large audience cheaply. Views are easy. Turning them into leads, tickets or sales takes native creative, clean tracking and a clear target. We forecast that target before launch and report against it.
What does a TikTok ads agency do?
A TikTok ads agency plans and manages paid campaigns on TikTok, including native-style video creative, Spark Ads from creator or brand posts, audience targeting, TikTok Pixel and Events API tracking, and budget, with the goal of turning attention into measurable sales or leads.
TikTok rewards ads that look like TikTok. Polished TV-style creative usually underperforms. We script short, hook-first videos, test several openings per concept, and rotate creative often because it fatigues faster than on other platforms.
TikTok tends to work best for consumer offers with broad appeal, events, local entertainment and ecommerce. For high-ticket B2B services, LinkedIn ads or paid search are usually a better first channel. We will tell you which fits your numbers.

TikTok ads, answered plainly.
Are TikTok ads worth it for small businesses?
TikTok ads can be worth it for small businesses with a visual, broadly appealing offer, especially consumer services, events, restaurants and ecommerce. They are less effective for niche B2B services. The deciding factor is whether the cost per customer fits your margins, which we forecast before launch.
What are Spark Ads?
Spark Ads are TikTok ads that run using an existing organic post from your account or a creator, with permission. They keep the original likes, comments and profile link, which often improves performance over standard ads.
How much do TikTok ads cost?
You set the budget. TikTok has minimum daily budgets at the campaign and ad group level, and actual cost depends on your audience and creative. We start from the number of customers you need and work backward to a budget.
Do I need to post on TikTok organically?
It helps but is not required. Ads can run without an active organic presence, though Spark Ads and an active profile tend to improve trust and results.
How fast does TikTok creative fatigue?
Faster than most platforms. Many accounts need fresh creative every few weeks. We plan a regular creative pipeline from the start.
