Are you getting started (or scaling) with TikTok Ads yet? As a digital marketer, your plate is full. But mastering new channels is always a bright idea, especially if you’re talking about TikTok, which delivers more runway, more reach, and an excellent way to build your audience. We are republishing today’s episode, which we initially aired in January of 2022 with TikTok expert Maxwell Finn. Listen for the complete run-down on TikTok for brands and businesses. Our host Molly Pittman (known for being a Facebook Ads Superstar) asks all the questions!
Maxwell’s agency (Future Traffik) serves clients with daily ad spending upwards of $50k, and we’ve boiled down everything you need to know to get started. Listen for tips, examples, and best practices.

That’s where your big wins are going to come from. The important lesson is to innovate, experiment, and try other things”. Maxwell Finn.
