TikTok is pushing the boundaries again with a new offering called ‘out of phone’, where you can take your TikTok content and promote it outside mobile phones. Basically, you can take your TikTok content into billboards, into cinemas. Imagine looking at your TikTok content being promoted inside restaurants, bars, kiosks, outdoor venues. and so on. It’s called ‘out of phone billboard’, ‘out of phone cinema’. So basically a range of campaign options where you start the campaign inside Tik Tok in a regular way covering the mobile devices and users with audience and all of that, that you do regularly. Then you also add options for the ad to be seen in billboards. And in cinemas and outdoor locations. Very exciting options. Definitely something for you to check out if you have a very big launch coming up in your nonprofit or your ministry.
