WHY TIKTOK NEEDS NATIVE CREATIVE
TikTok's audience can spot a repurposed ad within the first second of a video, and the platform's algorithm punishes low engagement content by simply showing it to fewer people, regardless of budget. A lot of agencies treat TikTok as an extra placement for existing Meta creative. Sash treats it as its own platform with its own content language, because a video that performs on Instagram frequently gets ignored entirely on TikTok. Campaigns built around genuinely native, platform specific creative consistently outperform repurposed ads on both cost per result and overall engagement in early testing.
