TikTok launches a new feature called Pulse Premiere within their advertising options. This is an extension of their existing ad format called TikTok Pulse. What TikTok Pulse helps you to do, is to take your ad and show it alongside the top 4% of TikTok’s content on any given day. So the top 4% of the content will be having your ad in between so that way you get a lot of exposure. That is TikTok Pulse. Now TikTok is going to the next level and saying you can choose the brands or the verticals within which you would like your ad to appear. So if you see a big name and you know that lots of people are following that account, and you can say, now I want my ad to appear in between their TikTok content. Could be a useful ad option if you have a big event or a big launch or something like that for your nonprofit or ministry.
