TikTok's UK/Europe scale (30M+ UK, 200M+ EU) and content graph make category objections obsolete. For ad ops, success comes from relevance, not trends: proof-led demos, explainers, reviews, and problem-solving content can reach high-intent audiences without a large follower base. Case studies show material performance: Toyota CPA -38%, BCP 10x registrations, Randstad 2.81% CTR/17M impressions, Prep Kitchen +44% conversion and +374% orders with Smart+, PureGym CPA -77%, HydroClean cost per conversation -74%. Action: test utility/creator content, use Smart+ for scaled creative testing, layer TopView on trusted content, and target niche communities rather than broad reach.

TikTok's Lorenzo Bierhuys argues that equating performance marketing with bottom-of-funnel capture is outdated; performance should instead mean data-driven, measurable marketing applied across the entire journey. TikTok frames discovery as the start of an infinite purchase loop, citing that 61% of users purchase after seeing an ad, 83% after using TikTok for inspiration, and 41% after a 'where to buy' search. Case evidence backs the full-funnel case: Mejuri +11% ROAS with 88% more efficient CPA, Tatti Lashes 13x ROAS, Conforama 239% CTR lift, and Ooh & Aah Cookies 8.81 total ROAS. Takeaway for ad ops: plan around intent signals first, then select capture routes — TikTok Shop, Pixel, App Events API, or Lead Generation ads.

TikTokYour customer saw it on TikTok. Your dashboard didn’t | TikTok For Business Blog
TikTok’s article argues last-click attribution creates a major measurement blind spot for ad ops. Because customer journeys loop across days, devices, and platforms, dashboards often credit only the final click and miss TikTok’s demand-creation role. Key data: 79% of TikTok-driven purchases are unattributed, 73% of click attribution undervalues TikTok conversions, and 50%+ undervalues ROI. TikTok users are also 30% more likely to convert and spend 20% more. The takeaway: short-term reporting can misallocate budget away from demand generation. Agencies should adopt measurement that captures full-funnel impact and not rely on pixel attribution alone.
AppsFlyerRe-engagement in the era of privacy – the definitive guide
Mobile re-engagement strategies must adapt to Apple's ATT, which limits IDFA use. Marketers can use 1st-party data, segmented owned media, and incrementality measurement. Success requires diversification across paid, owned, and earned channels, plus optimized push notifications and timing of privacy prompts.
