#4 How to Run a TikTok Ad Campaign
If you're ready to run a successful Tik-Tok ad campaign during the fourth quarter, there are a few highlights.'

First, try to limit the campaign to two or three advertisement groups at the most. You should also use broad, stacked interests.

Then, when you design the advertisement, focus on the video first. Make sure you leverage ACO (automated creative optimization) if you have a lot of creatives to test.'

Finally, make sure you have key performance indicators that allow you to track which ads are doing well. Try to give each ad about 7 days. Then, monitor ad group performance daily. Highlight your top-performing creatives, age groups, gender groups, and interests to see which ads are working well and which ads are not. This will help you create a strong performing Tik-Tok ad campaign in the fourth quarter.'
