This briefing will take a deep dive into the phenomenon that is TikTok, examining its history and context both in China and overseas, and looking in particular at how its acquisition of another Chinese-owned video app, Musical.ly, aided its adoption outside of China. It will also analyse TikTok’s monetisation prospects, including its potential for advertising and influencer marketing, and its challenges – such as controversies around inappropriate content and privacy.
