Inspiration: Chipotle
Chipotle, an American chain of fast casual restaurants, uses their TikTok Business Account to tell real stories and to give the audience a personal presence. Content is kept very down-to-earth and human, and the brand works hard to keep things light-hearted on the platform, producing comedy sketches and behind the scenes footage from their restaurants. Since 2018, the Chipotle Business Account has garnered over 3.4M likes on its videos, and amassed over 460K followers.
As we continue to build a platform where brands bring great value to the user experience, we're excited to deliver solutions that give brands a platform to inspire others, be discovered, and meaningfully connect with the TikTok Community.
