Back to EpisodesTikTok Just Hit 1.5 Billion Users: Why 89% of Agencies Still Don't Get It
Published 8 hours ago
Description
TikTok just smashed 1.5 billion users, but here's what's crazy: most marketing agencies are still treating it like Instagram's weird cousin. Jake Rivera breaks down why this massive blind spot is costing agencies serious money and how the smart ones are already banking on what everyone else is missing.
The numbers don't lie. TikTok users are glued to their screens for 95 minutes daily (Instagram barely hits 58), and ad costs are sitting pretty at $0.50 per click while Facebook burns through $1.72. Yet 89% of agencies are still fumbling around like it's 2019.
🎯 What You'll Learn:
• Why TikTok's algorithm actually rewards agencies that "get it" (and punishes those copying Facebook tactics)
• The 3x engagement rate difference that's making small businesses ditch traditional social
• Specific creative strategies that convert TikTok browsers into actual buyers
• How 73% of users discover new brands on the platform (and what that means for your client roster)
👤 Perfect for: agency owners and marketers who want to capitalize on the platform shift before everyone else catches up
