TikTok Ads.
Native, sound-on, hook-driven.

TikTok rewards creators, not advertisers. We run a creator pipeline that ships native Spark Ads at velocity — and a hook-rate scoring framework that promotes only the variants that earn watch-time.

The framing

What you stop. What you install. What you get.

Most paid-media problems aren't budget problems — they're decision problems. Three sentences before we touch a setting.

01

TikTok's only rule

If it doesn't feel like a TikTok, it gets scrolled. Polished agency creative dies in the feed. Native, founder-led, creator-led, raw — that's what compounds.

02

Our Spark Ads playbook

We onboard creators, brief hooks, edit in-house, get usage rights signed, and Spark-Ad the winners directly off creator handles. Native trust, paid distribution.

03

Outcome

A channel that out-performs Meta on cost-per-acquired-customer for DTC and creator-driven brands — and a content library you can repurpose across organic.

Process

Six steps from kickoff to compounding wins.

06 phases
  1. 01

    Pixel & event diagnostic

    TikTok Pixel + Events API audit. Most accounts under-report by 25%+ before we touch them.

  2. 02

    Creator sourcing

    We tap a vetted network of 30+ creators by vertical, source new ones for niche fits, and handle paperwork (FTC + usage rights + exclusivity windows).

  3. 03

    Hook-driven brief

    Every brief leads with the first 1.3 seconds. We A/B hooks before the body. Creators ship 3 hooks per concept.

  4. 04

    Spark Ads launch

    Native handle posting, Spark code, paid amplification. The trust signal of a real creator with the targeting of paid media.

  5. 05

    Hook-rate scoring

    Every variant scored on 3-second view, 6-second view, hold-rate. Only top-quartile hooks promote into Smart Performance Campaigns.

  6. 06

    Creative compounding

    Winning hooks get re-edited with new bodies, new endings, new music. One great hook earns 5× its production cost over the quarter.

Questions

The four asked most about TikTok Ads.

We don't have a brand presence on TikTok yet — is that a problem? +

No. We can launch with creator-led Spark Ads on day one and build your branded handle in parallel over the first 90 days.

Who owns the creative? +

You do, with usage rights for paid distribution typically locked for 6–12 months. We negotiate and document each contract.

What's the minimum budget? +

$10k/mo media is the practical floor — TikTok Smart Performance needs that signal density to learn quickly.

Can you co-run TikTok and Meta? +

Yes — and most of our clients do. Shared creative-ops layer, deduplicated CAC, bundle pricing on request.
