TikTok has partnered with the agency Lunar Solar Group to share its vision regarding how marketing professionals can make use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance their strategy and successfully connect creativity, media, and measurement within a single, adaptable cycle.

Recommendations from TikTok to increase your reach

The Chinese social network has highlighted that, although we are currently in an era in which AI has expanded creative and advertising opportunities, market options seldom offer a unified workflow. This reality results in fragmented processes in which professionals must resort to various AI tools, and then assemble the different pieces themselves. Further obstacles along this path include the loss of authenticity and creativity, as well as a lack of trust in these models.

In light of this scenario, TikTok has focused on developing a full-funnel automation approach that unifies strategy, media, and creativity. To promote its system while assisting marketing professionals, the social network has prepared a list of recommendations on how to integrate AI into a brand’s strategic approach and how to take advantage of its AI-powered ad creation and targeting tools.

1. Empower the human strategy, don’t replace it

The correct approach is to see AI as a copilot, an added support, rather than a replacement. The most effective automation systems are designed to augment your human strategy. It is essential to understand that technology exists to enhance the impact of your teams.

The interaction between humans and machines is key: AI manages optimization and repetitive tasks, while your team can focus on creative impact and strategic direction. It is crucial for technology to elevate the capacity of your media and creative teams, not subordinate them. Automation is the turbocharger; your talent is the engine.

2. Learn from how people make purchases

The modern consumer’s journey is not linear, so your automation must understand and enable this reality. It is essential that storytelling (top-funnel) connects seamlessly with conversion (bottom-funnel) through automated systems that adapt in response to intention, audiences, and context.

3. Be sophisticated, but not complex

Strive for sophistication in your strategy, not for complexity in your technology. Automation should work with you, not against you, and solutions must be flexible and based on actionable infrastructure.

Likewise, these should seamlessly integrate with your existing martech ecosystem without forcing you to completely restructure it. If a tool introduces friction or excessive complexity into your workflows, it is undermining efficiency.

4. Elevate creativity, do not limit it

Automation should enable you to move quickly without sacrificing quality along the way, allowing your teams to focus on the strategy and creativity that will ensure your message stands out.

To this end, TikTok ensures that its tools provide reporting, data, and production support to generate and scale the necessary creative assets.

How TikTok is adapting its ecosystem

In its report, TikTok explains how its partnerships with agencies such as Lunar Solar Group are serving to experiment, learn, and innovate in key areas.

Most brands do not lack automation tools, but lack cohesion. Isolated data. Disconnected technology stacks. Measurement models held together by duct tape, hope, and spreadsheets. This is where TikTok becomes a game changer,” states Pierson Krass, founder of Lunar Solar Group.

A vital element in this adaptation process is the development of its automation suite, which comprises key solutions such as Smart+, GMV Max, TikTok Symphony, and TikTok One Content Suite. Through these tools, TikTok offers:

1. Greater control in planning, activation, and measurement

TikTok offers powerful tools such as Smart+ and GMV Max, providing brands with complete control over their campaigns, from planning to creativity and results measurement. Smart+ utilizes artificial intelligence to optimize performance and make data-driven decisions, continuously improving strategy and execution with minimal configuration. GMV Max, on the other hand, automates segmentation, creative, and spending across organic, paid, and affiliate channels, maximizing sales on TikTok Shop while easily optimizing merchandise value.

2. Boosting both brand value and business outcomes

TikTok’s AI solutions help brands to optimize the entire sales funnel. Specifically, Smart+ enables the achievement of performance objectives through automated, always-on optimization, improving efficiency at every step. Meanwhile, GMV Max focuses on commerce, integrating paid and organic strategies to maximize sales within TikTok Shop, thereby contributing to the growth of both brand value and business results.

3. Authentic and brand-safe creativity

With the TikTok Symphony creative suite, brands can generate content that is both authentic and aligned with the brand and platform trends, avoiding undesirable AI-related errors. TikTok Symphony allows for the creation of high-performing assets, based on collaboration with creators, while respecting cultural nuances and popular trends. This ensures a stronger connection with the audience while maintaining brand integrity.

4. Integration and implementation within existing martech ecosystems

Finally, TikTok’s tools are designed to integrate easily with existing marketing ecosystems. This facilitates rapid adoption and proper alignment with team workflows, optimizing the entire business process cycle. Through this integration, brands can maximize the impact of their marketing strategies effortlessly, achieving a multiplier effect throughout the commercial cycle.
