TikTok Ads Manager

TikTok Ads Manager is the console for advertising on TikTok, with targeting, creative testing and conversion tracking.

What differs from other platforms is that creative carries more weight than targeting: the algorithm finds the audience if the video holds attention, so testing many creatives beats refining audience segments.

Ads that look like ads underperform badly here. The formats that work resemble organic content, which means production style matters more than production budget.
