Prior to launching OK COOL TikTok Studio, the agency had been working with TikTok for the past 12 months, telling the story of the platform and encouraging the world’s biggest lifestyle brands to explore the potential of how TikTok can drive growth through creative, culturally relevant content to supplement their traditional advertising.
“Having been immersed in the TikTok platform, globally, for the last 12 months, helping bring it’s unique offering to clients and their brands, it made sense for us to take this experience and expertise in the shape of OK COOL TikTok Studio to help brands achieve success on the platform.TikTok has its own unique personality. It’s such an exciting and innovative platform and needs to be approached in a completely different way from any other social channel. It’s about ripping up traditional brand guidelines, and brands beginning to express themselves in their own way, using creators as a mouthpiece. TikTok encourages brands to go back to the root of creativity. It makes you, as a brand pause and ask, “what do I stand for? How can I be more relevant?” – Jolyon Varley, Co-Founder, OK COOL
