Meanwhile, TikTok has released a new Australian campaign that showcases the different genres within the platform, titled ‘Whatever Makes You Tick’. The campaign features local TikTok creators, such as gamer @loserfruit and comedian Sam Cotton (@mrsamcotton). The soundtrack, ‘Hello’, is by Sydney-based singer and songwriter Voli K (@volikmusic).

Leith said of the campaign: “At the heart of this new brand campaign is the idea that no matter what makes you ‘tick’, there is an amazing breadth of ‘thumbstopping’ content ready for you to enjoy on TikTok right now.
“To bring this to life we harnessed the power of our unique local creators and some of the most compelling and unexpected videos you can find on TikTok, to produce a campaign that is culturally and contextually relevant, brings joy and busts the myths around what to expect from TikTok.”
The campaign will run until 26 September and will be on BVOD, programmatic video, video platforms, digital OOH, audio and targeted brand partnerships.
TikTok’s previous Australian campaign was launched at the start of this year, ‘Summer starts on TikTok’.
