Game On: Measurement on TikTok

March 22, 2022

TikTok For Business

If 2021 taught us anything about digital media, it's that not only is change a constant, but it's happening at breakneck speed. Brands are navigating a treacherous and fragmented digital landscape, full of uncertainty.

You may be familiar with one or more of these evolving brand challenges:

1. Brand safety, already a staple focus for all marketers, continues to challenge brands to find suitable, trusted environments to engage customers.

2. Privacy requirements are constantly evolving, creating constant changes to campaign measurement and optimization.

3. Lastly, an evolving customer journey has kept brands on the hunt for innovative opportunities, where audience receptivity and advertising quality can unlock great results.

But, it's not quite game over. As 2022 continues, a path through uncertainty is forming. For persistent brands brave enough to blaze forward with new and smart strategies, TikTok is offering you an extra life.

TikTok is a new player, but being young has its advantages. As we're building an ecosystem of measurement solutions, we see the landscape with fresh eyes. A disrupted field of marketing where gaps are created by evolving technology, regulation, and audience behavior presents an opportunity to find new and better ways to achieve brand and business goals.

And that brings us to our Measurement Framework goal, helping brands make smarter advertising decisions on TikTok with a full set of measurement tools made to drive full-funnel business impact.

So, just like TikTok has changed how people and brands around the world create and share content, we're bringing that same energy to our approach to measurement solutions, too.
 
Ready to see how TikTok's framework helps you master your campaign? Read on.

TikTok's solution is a multi-layer framework, built to be customizeable based on the measurement goals an advertiser has identified. It's full of smart, familiar partners that span the spectrum of campaign measurement possibilities.

The TikTok Measurement Framework has three primary purposes:

1. Be Safe & Seen is stacked with solutions to ensure brands that ads are being seen by real people in a safe, fraud free environment. For example, TikTok's Inventory Filter gives advertisers more control over where their ads run on the platform, ensuring a brand-safe environment.

2. Next is Build Performance, which is a toolset that helps advertisers attribute campaign impact and optimize campaign performance. A part of this solution is the TikTok Pixel, a first-party attribution tracker that's pre-built, simple to set up, and easy to maintain.

3. The final purpose in the framework is Analyze Impact, which lets brands understand and unpack the impact of different media investments with TikTok. In addition to measuring via brand and sales lift studies,we can also support Media Mix Modeling, giving a robust view into the value of ads on TikTok.

Consider these three strategies as buttons to push based on the goal you're trying to measure. The idea is to activate one, two, or all three to build a purposeful powerhouse on the TikTok platform, giving you a clear output to measure your success.

Our Measurement Framework has helped several brands realize big campaign wins:

And this is just the beginning! We'll be upgrading and evolving this Measurement Framework in 2022 and beyond, equipping brands with the support to be masters of their campaigns, whatever the need.
