Course overview
In this course, we’ll take an in-depth look at TikTok as a marketing tool for publishers. The course will be split into two areas: organic activity and advertising on TikTok. It will feature an overview of the platform’s core audience and demographics, an in-depth exploration of the kind of content you can create and best practices, as well as a deep dive into BookTok and the emerging influencers that can amplify your titles and imprint.
It will also feature practical examples and case studies from a variety of brands throughout. We’ll look at publishing and non-publishing brands successfully creating a splash on TikTok to inspire you to create engaging content that will promote your titles in a whole new way!
