TikTok is rolling out two fresh ad options. These are made to help movie studios and streaming services turn all the hype on TikTok into real sales and new sign-ups. The goal? To show users content they will love. The new Streaming Ads feature uses Smart+, TikTok’s AI-powered toolkit. This tool is not new. It has been around for 15 months. It shows real clips from shows to people who like entertainment. The idea is to help streaming services get more subscribers.
Streaming Ads show different titles from a streaming service’s collection. Users see either a video carousel with four clips or an interactive card with various tiles. This makes it easy for users to find something they like. But here’s the thing: Will these ads really work? TikTok is known for its short, fun videos. Will users engage with longer ads? Only time will tell. TikTok is trying to make ads more engaging. They want to turn casual viewers into paying customers. It’s a big challenge, but TikTok is giving it a shot.
