What are the main conclusions of the study?
One of the most interesting conclusions is the type of campaign that is the most used by brands, agencies, and social media managers – great data to take advantage of the trend. And the data has spoken: campaigns aimed at maximizing video views on TikTok are the most used. In total, we counted 1219 campaigns, representing 26.1% of the sample.
At the same time, this is not a significant difference with respect to the next two types of campaigns, as Engagement campaigns account for 996 campaigns (21.3%) and Traffic campaigns for 826 campaigns (17.7%).
Another interesting fact extracted from the study is which type of campaign invests more budget on average. Again, campaigns to increase video views receive the most investment: $2,537.94 per campaign. On the other hand, the Engagement objective is the one with the lowest average investment per campaign at $302.91.
Comparison between TikTok Ads vs Facebook Ads
After conducting in-depth studies of TikTok Ads and Facebook Ads, we compared the ads between the two platforms to help you decide which one to invest in, or which type of campaign to invest in.
Differences between campaigns
Undoubtedly, the biggest difference we see is in the budget invested. In Facebook Ad campaigns, the total budget invested was $34,192,542.04, while in TikTok Ads it was $5,480,456.84.
Despite the popularity of TikTok, Meta still sees a larger investment when it comes to advertising campaigns. It is true however that Facebook ads have been posted on Meta, but also Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger ads.
On the other hand, if we think about what type of objective is favored on the two platforms, we find a big difference. In TikTok Ads, advertisers prefer campaigns to maximize video views, while in Facebook Ads, the most used campaigns are those aimed at improving engagement.
This is to be expected though since the nature of TikTok is videos and getting more views.
